Maximize Hydrographic Survey Efficiency
THE TELEDYNE OCEANSCIENCE Z-Boat® with Odom MB2 Multibeam Echosounder, ruggedized design, and interchangeable sensor well, offer an entirely new option for high-resolution shallow-water hydrographic surveying. Teledyne Odom Hydrographic’s MB2 Multibeam Echosounder is optimized for shallow-water survey. With 24-bit raw data, both water column and seabed information can be collected within the controller software onboard the Z-Boat.
THE TELEDYNE OCEANSCIENCE Z-Boat® with Odom MB2 Multibeam Echosounder, ruggedized design, and interchangeable sensor well, offer an entirely new option for high-resolution shallow-water hydrographic surveying. Get multibeam bathymetry data where conventional methods are not feasible or safe, and avoid mobilizing a workboat or vessel of opportunity. The Z-Boat uses advanced radio telemetry to offer remotely-operated hydrographic surveys. All data is viewable in real time, giving the operator total control over the survey process. Z-Boat navigation is easy using the GNSS position and heading available onboard, and remotely viewed at the operator location. Data processing is available in real time through CARIS Onboard.
Teledyne Odom Hydrographic’s MB2 Multibeam Echosounder is optimized for shallow-water survey with a dedicated cylindrical transmit array and broad range of sounding frequencies. With 24-bit raw data, both water column and seabed information can be collected within the controller software onboard the Z-Boat. The Real Time Appliance (RTA) synchronizes all of the sensors with accuracy better than 0.1 ms. Precise positioning is powered by the optional integrated Applanix POS MV WaveMaster engine aided by Trimble GNSS.
The Z-Boat’s new ruggedized design is IP67-rated and incorporates a modular deck structure for antennas, cameras, and additional sensor mounting, making the Z-Boat ideal for shallow coastal mapping applications. The ruggedized package also includes an interchangeable sensor well which accommodates a range of instruments including the Odom MB2, Odom MB1, Odom CV100. Sensors are easily interchanged from beneath the Z-Boat.
A drone upgrade with waypoint navigation is available to offer laser-straight survey lines and precise positioning for large area or repeating surveys.
Additional features from HYPACK® and CARIS allow for remote viewing of Z-Boat operations or processed data.
