M508 Hydrus
The M508 Hydrus towed digital array provides a lightweight, low-noise, low-drag and low-power solution for streaming digitized data from acoustic sources as well as non-acoustic sensors such as depth, temperature and attitude, and is ideal for towing from uncrewed platforms such as USVs and UUVs.
The system includes acceleration cancelling hydrophones to minimize mechanical noise, and can be configured to offer more than 64 channels and up to 2.5 kHz sampling rate. It is ideal for a variety of sources including marine monitoring, anthropogenic noise monitoring, and detection.
