ELWAVE

Elwave enhances subsea detection and characterization by leveraging an innovative electromagnetic technology. Our solutions provide real-time perception capabilities for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and defense applications, including inspection, surveying, security, and more.

Universal Detection & Target Characterization

Our sensors enable the detection of all types of underwater materials—metallic, non-metallic, plastics, and living organisms—in all conditions, including low visibility, buried, or congested environments. They provide valuable insights into a target’s nature, including impedance, size, location, and shape, displayed in real time on a 2D map. The concentration of a target can also be calculated.

Proven through successful demos and operations, Elwave’s technology brings value to marine research, offshore energy, and naval defense applications. By offering a unique and complementary detection capability, it enhances decision-making and operational efficiency across these fields.

Survey & Monitoring
Thanks to its contactless detection and characterization abilities, Octopulse and Tetrapulse are ideal for underwater surveying and monitoring applications, including cable and pipeline tracking and oil and gas infrastructure maintenance.

Critical Infrastructure Security
With highly sensitive detection capabilities, our subsea electric sensors can be installed underwater to detect intrusion at critical port or waterway facilities such as docks, oil terminals, and nuclear power stations.

Archaeology & Salvage
Octopulse and Tetrapulse can pick up metallic and nonmetallic objects on the sea floor or buried in the sediment, making them excellent solutions for surveying cultural heritage sites, structural remains and shipwrecks.

UXO & EOD
Able to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous objects at depths of 1 to 2 metres, our subsea electric sensors support commercial and naval dive teams in clearing unexploded ordnance, mines and underwater hazards. Octopulse has recently been selected for NATO’s DIANA technology accelerator program.

Underwater Vehicle Navigation
With an effective detection range of up to 5 times the length of the vehicle, Octopulse and Tetrapulse can be combined with cameras and sonars for enhanced vehicle navigation and obstacle avoidance.
