The DMD system has been designed to provide divers with the ability to navigate and carry out inspections in zero visibility conditions.
Utilising the Gemini range of Multibeam imaging sonars allows the user to select the most suitable sonar for the type of operation required. The world’s smallest Multibeam imaging sonar, the MicronGemini, provides a basic navigation capability, allowing a diver to locate large structures or objects while working in zero visibility water.
Where a higher degree of resolution is required the diver can opt for the Gemini 720ik or Gemini 1200ik Multibeam imaging sonar, both of which provide increased range, resolution and field of view. These high specification Multibeam imaging sonars provide a diver with a high degree of confidence while working in zero visibility conditions and allow searches to be undertaken far more efficiently than using conventional search pattern techniques.
The DMD systems have been designed to be used with the Inodive accessory rail system, allowing for the DMD system to be used with an extensive range of dive masks and helmets. All of the Gemini sonars, when supplied with a DMD system, are built-up with an Inodive interface to allow for seamless installation onto the dive mask/helmet.
Power and control of the DMD system can either be through a tether connection to the surface (DMD Tethered), where the topside operator controls what the diver sees, or the diver can work autonomously with no need for a surface connection by utilising a diver battery pack and a DMD hand controller (DMD Un-Tethered). With the tethered version, the DMD Surface Control Unit (SCU) is the heart of your underwater operation. Our DMD SCU is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions, just like the brave professionals who use it. Built to the demanding MIL-STD-810G standard, it’s the ultimate tool for divers. With built-in power, clear sonar visuals, and direct diver communication, you’ll have complete control of the mission.
