DT-X SUB Submersible Echo Sounder

The DT-X SUB is a completely self-contained echo sounder solution for autonomous deployments where cabling to the surface may be cost-prohibitive or impractical. DT-X scientific echo sounder technology is packaged in a pressure rated housing that is adaptable for deployment via AUV, ROV, or seafloor observatory platform.

Applications

Long-term, self-contained, autonomous deployments
Seabed mount, mid-water mooring, surface buoy
Modular OEM integration with AUV, ASV, ROV platforms
Biological ocean observation
Fish size, distribution, and abundance
Marine mammal detection
Plankton distribution and vertical migration
School detection and single target detection
