Expanded catalog now includes compact, low-cost hydrographic sonar with unique and innovative deployment products
SUBSEA 20/20, Inc. was recently named the first US distributor for UK sonar manufacturer, Picotech Ltd. Picotech’s product line includes several unique multibeam products including the PicoCAT USV and the world’s smallest integrated multibeam sonar, the PicoMB-130. Picotech sonars are built on a scalable hardware and firmware platform called PicoSonar, which is also supplied to Kraken Robotics for their AquaPix® MINSAS and AquaPix® INSAS sonar systems.
The PicoMB-130 features unprecedented size and weight and class-leading power consumption, making it ideal for mobilization on man-portable USVs and small survey vessels. The PicoPOD is a turnkey multibeam package to power-up USVs for autonomous multibeam surveys. PicoPOD has a simple mechanical interface and free open-source autopilot. All Picotech sonars are supported by industry standard acquisition and processing software including BeamworX®, EIVA NaviSuite®, Xylem HYPACK®, Teledyne PDS® and QPS QINSy®.
SUBSEA 20/20 principal, Eric Munday, stated “Picotech provides us with a much needed hydrographic sonar and fills an important niche in our product catalog”. Munday added, “We were immediately drawn to the quality of the multibeam data and unique design features aimed at the rapidly expanding USV market. I am thrilled to partner with Picotech and the opportunity to drive exposure for their products in the US”.
