Deep Trekker explores the evolving role of sonar technologies in underwater inspection, survey, and navigation operations in a recent article examining the acoustic sensing tools used across a range of subsea applications. Read more >>
The feature discusses how sonar supports activities such as infrastructure inspection, bathymetric surveying, search and recovery missions, subsea asset assessment, and marine research. It also outlines several categories of sonar systems used in underwater environments, including echosounders, imaging sonar, side-scan sonar, and emerging 3D imaging solutions that enhance situational awareness and data collection capabilities.
Readers can also learn more about developments in underwater positioning and mapping, including the integration of USBL systems, real-time visualization tools, and SLAM-based technologies that help support navigation and inspection workflows in GNSS-denied environments. The article highlights how these capabilities are expanding the scope of underwater operations across offshore energy, infrastructure, defense, public safety, and scientific research sectors.
