Octopulse
Underwater imaging solution for subsea vehicles and fixed installations
Octopulse is a compact and lightweight imaging sensor based on our proprietary CEDAR technology, and is ideal for both underwater vehicles and fixed-site applications. The modular system utilizes an array of up to eight electrodes with cables up to 7 metres in length, and provides 360-degree real-time perception.
The sensor provides highly effective detection, localisation and classification of both metallic and non-metallic objects as well as buried targets. It delivers excellent performance in noisy environments and high levels of sediment, and works in freshwater and saltwater environments as well as in air. With no moving parts, it requires very little maintenance and can be used for contactless characterisation of any kind of surface or material. The system’s low power draw makes it ideal for long-term deployments requiring little maintenance.
The export restriction-free Octopulse is provided as a complete kit comprising the sensor pod, up to eight electrodes and cables, and all necessary firmware and user interface software. It is currently available as a 300 metre depth-rated version, with a 6000 metre-rated version under development.
