ELWAVE recently demonstrated its Tetrapulse sensor at the ANTX Coastal Trident 2024 exercise, organized by the US Navy.
Throughout the exercise, Tetrapulse was integrated into VideoRay’s Defender ROV (remotely operated vehicle), showcasing its capabilities in a real-world setting.
The Tetrapulse, a compact subsea electric sensor, excels in real-time electrical impedance measurements, making it highly effective for identifying targets in turbid waters.
The sensor leverages ELWAVE’s CEDAR technology, inspired by the sensory systems of tropical freshwater fish. With its modular design and up to four electrodes, Tetrapulse can be equipped with cables ranging from 1.5 to 7 meters, suitable for various underwater vehicles and fixed-site installations.
Tetrapulse offers precise detection, localization, and classification of both metallic and non-metallic objects, including those buried at depths of 1 to 2 meters. Rated for depths up to 300 meters, it performs reliably in both water and air, even in noisy environments.
