摘要

NCS Survey, UK, reports it has expanded its AUV fleet with the purchase of two Teledyne Gavia, Iceland, vehicles. The AUVs are the latest in the Gavia Offshore Surveyor series and are equipped with high-resolution sidescan sonar, a multibeam echosounder, a sub-bottom profiler, an ultra-short baseline positioning system, long baseline (LBL), GPS and an inertial navigation system. The vehicles will be used to provide ultra-high-resolution data for pipeline and platform inspections, scour monitoring surveys, cable and pipe route surveys and offshore wind farm surveys.
