The DT-X Extreme is an innovative and versatile echo sounder system that expands your data collection opportunities. The DT-X Extreme operates with a split beam or single beam transducers and can be operated as:
- A portable system for mobile surveys
- A fully autonomous system, ideal for ASV/USV surveys, surface buoys, and other unmanned deployments
- For fixed location monitoring applications
The DT-X Extreme includes our patented data collection and analysis software, and produces accurate, high resolution water column data and results for fisheries management and research, and for studies on communities of biological organisms and physical elements of marine and freshwater ecosystems – including fish schools and individuals, plankton, nekton, mammals, birds, debris, oil droplets, gas bubbles, and more.
