Abstract

A survey system and method to improve one or more of survey quality, efficiency, and utility for example by utilizing a vessel mounted MBES and a selected survey plan to check sound speed(s) via eliciting echoes from reflectors in colocated groups of reflectors using multi -perspective ensonification.

Abstract

A survey system including a multibeam echo sounder having a single projector array and a single hydrophone array constructs a multi-signal message and deconstructs a corresponding multi-signal echo to substantially simultaneously perform multiple survey missions.

• G01S 15/00 - Systems using the reflection or reradiation of acoustic waves, e.g. sonar systems

Abstract

A survey system including a multibeam echo sounder having a single projector array and a single hydrophone array constructs a multi-component message for ensonifying multiple fans and deconstructs a corresponding message echo for use in analyzing the returns from each fan.

Abstract

A survey system including a multibeam echo sounder having a projector array and a hydrophone array in a Mills Cross arrangement uses a multi-component message to ensonify one or more fans to estimate a Doppler velocity.

Abstract

A sonar data compression system includes a multibeam echo sounder for installation on a water going vehicle. The sonar data compression system comprises an acoustic transceiver for use with one or more transducers in a single projector array and plural transducers in a single hydrophone array. The projector array is arranged with respect to the hydrophone array to form a Mills Cross, a transceiver for synthesizing a transmitter message, the message exciting a projector array such that a swath beneath the vehicle is ensonified, and Q beams formed by the hydrophone array, the Q beams sampled 1, 2, 3...s times during a time that echoes form the message reach the hydrophones.
