Cutting-Edge Underwater Imaging & Positioning Solutions for Subsea Exploration

Cerulean Sonar is a leading developer of cutting-edge underwater imaging and positioning solutions designed to make subsea exploration more accessible than ever. Utilizing the latest advances in microelectronics and digital signal processing, the company’s products are designed with cost-effectiveness foremost in mind, and can be easily integrated on board a variety of surface and subsurface platforms.

Forward-Looking & Side-Scan Sonar Systems

The Omniscan series provides ocean explorers, scientific researchers and search and recovery crews with a versatile range of forward-looking and side-scan sonar solutions. Utilizing a single narrow and tall sonar beam and tightly integrated with the Cerulean SonarView software, the systems deliver high-quality real-time underwater imaging for a wide variety of marine and subsea missions.

Omniscan 450fs imaging sonar on ROV

Forward-looking Omniscan sonars allow ROV operators to focus scans simply by maneuvering the vehicle, making it easy to inspect specific points of interest or perform complete 360-degree sweeps for enhanced situational awareness. The Omniscan side-scan products deliver highly detailed imagery that rivals many multibeam sonar systems, while offering a far more cost-effective solution.

Cerulean Omniscan vs Oculus

The Omniscan 3D Upgrade Kit converts standard Omniscan sonars into advanced 3D imaging systems with enhanced capabilities. The kit enables highly accurate image rendering while simultaneously capturing a full point cloud of the seabed as well as targets within the water column.

Subsea Positioning Solutions

ROV Locator

The ROV Locator (ROVL) range provides cost-effective USBL subsea positioning solutions for operations at depths of up to 300 meters. The product family includes three distinct variants to suit a range of operational requirements.

ROV Locator Mk II USBL subsea positioning solution ROV Locator Mk II
Utilizes separate GNSS devices on topside receiver and ROV transmitter to synchronize the clocks on each unit

ROV Locator Mk III USBL subsea positioning solution ROV Locator Mk III
Uses duplex acoustic communication with a transceiver on the topside and a transponder on the ROV, requiring no clock synchronization

ROV Locator Mk V USBL subsea positioning solution ROV Locator Mk V
Utilizes a common Ethernet connection for accurate and drift-free synchronization that is independent of the speed of sound

Omnitrack USBL

Cerulean’s flagship Omnitrack subsea positioning solution combines an ROV Locator USBL with dual GNSS receivers integrated into a compact ring buoy assembly, enabling highly accurate tracking and positioning of underwater targets and assets. The system is available with both wired and wireless surface module options to suit a variety of deployment scenarios.

Tracker 650 DVL

The Tracker 650 Doppler Velocity Log enhances both Omnitrack and ROVL positioning systems with high-update-rate velocity data for smoother motion tracking performance and improved position holding accuracy during subsea operations.

Bathymetric Echosounders

Surveyor 240 MBES

Surveyor 240 MBES multibeam echosounder The Surveyor 240 is a compact 240 kHz multibeam echosounder designed to provide a highly capable and cost-effective survey solution for smaller USV platforms. Utilizing an advanced angle-of-arrival estimation algorithm , the system delivers superior accuracy to conventional beam-forming methods and achieves sub-degree resolution.

Ideal for very shallow-water operations, the Surveyor 240 is also capable of conducting reliable surveys at depths exceeding 50 meters, making it a versatile option for a broad range of subsea mapping requirements.

Sounder S500 SBES

Cerulean Sounder S500 single-beam echosounder The Sounder S500 single-beam echosounder has been engineered for easy integration into compact ROVs, AUVs, and ASVs. Featuring separate transducer and control electronics, the system minimizes external profile dimensions while providing greater flexibility during installation.

Leveraging CHIRP sonar technology, the S500 delivers excellent range resolution and accurate distance measurements at ranges of more than 100 meters, making it well suited for a variety of subsea inspection and survey applications.

Networking & Connectivity

Manifold 5L

Manifold 5L subsea Ethernet network hub The Manifold 5L is a subsea Ethernet network hub that allows you to connect up to five devices, providing streamlined power and communications and reducing penetrations in main electronics enclosures. Ideal for ROV platforms, it provides an optional tether interface for long-distance connectivity.

Network Hub

Cerulean Network Hub Cerulean’s Network Hub enables ROV operators to unify their topside networks, reducing cabling requirements and eliminating the need for multiple adapters. The compact device provides multiple physical interfaces and can be powered directly from a laptop USB-C port, a battery bank, or an external 2.1 mm DC barrel input.

GPS & GNSS Receiver Module

Cerulean GPS/GNSS module Rated to 300 meters, Cerulean’s GPS/GNSS module features a low-profile non-snagging design and an integrated patch antenna. and supports tracking of two GNSS constellations simultaneously (either GPS + GLONASS or GPS + BeiDou).
