Octopulse is a revolutionary imaging sensor based on ELWAVE's proprietary CEDAR technology, which draws inspiration from electrical sensory perception of tropical freshwater fishes. The compact and lightweight system is ideal for incorporation into a wide range of underwater vehicles, and is also highly suited to fixed-site installation.
Utilizing an array of up to eight electrodes with cables up to 7 metres in length, the modular system provides highly effective detection, localisation and classification of metallic and non-metallic objects and surfaces, as well as buried objects at depths of 1 to 2 metres. It provides robust performance in water or in air, and in highly noisy environments.
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.
