comes in various variants. A9-E is the configuration for environmental
monitoring. In addition to the seabed image acquisition, it will record
bathymetric data as well as environmental information such as water turbidity,
conductivity, temperature, fluorescence, dissolved oxygen or pH. A9-M is the configuration of ECA Group A9 man portable Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) dedicated to military applications. The vehicle has been designed to meet STANAG 1364 requirement: its acoustic and magnetic signatures are minimized in order not to trigger any underwater mines when doing the mine warfare survey. Its main function is Mine Like Objects detection and even classification depending on environmental conditions and seabed type in particular. A9-S is the configuration dedicated to seabed imagery. The vehicle stability and its navigation accuracy offer the best operating conditions for getting the highest quality side scan sonar images. In addition, the sonar integrated on the AUV is one of the best available solution on the market. Triton SSS perspective suite can then be used to create sidescan mosaics of the highest quality. |
