3-Axis Gradiometer Array

SeaQuest2 configuration render

Get to the point faster

Measuring true gradients in all 3 dimensions creates native analytic signal maps without the need for heavy post processing computation.

It enhances signals from small targets uniformly, regardless of their geometry or position in space. That means, no matter how your heading changes, no information is lost.

Applications:

Ideal for small target precision in shallow water

Deployments:

AUV/ASVBoat TowSide Scan

Get To The Point Faster.

Need to find small, near surface targets in shallow water? Bring in a specialist. Measure gradients in all three directions simultaneously, and compute the total gradient. No matter how your heading changes, no information is lost.

Build Quality

Specialization matters

Sleek durable design

Minimizes the risk of snagging foreign objects and debris. The entire structure is designed to deflect impact rather than absorbing it.

Integrated tilt and altimeter sensors

Know exactly how the tiniest platform movements caused by rough seas are effecting your gradients. Know where the seafloor is with 0.1m precision by measuring bathymetry.

Pressure release valves

Dissipate pressure slowly in case of leaks caused by damage.

Maintenance Free Sensor

No realignment and no consumable parts

Make SeaQuest2 a perfect fit for your application.
