Synchronized Magnetic Gradiometer Array
Net it and Forget it
Scalable up to 30 nodes, the network array is practically self-configuring, requiring minimal
setup and troubleshooting to operate.
More is less
A survey company can stockpile a few dozen nodes, grab however many they need based on a survey’s parameters, connect them and “go.” The nodes are identical and interchangeable. Instead of humans micromanaging sensor relationships, they figure it out independently. One of the sensors takes charge, coordinates data from the network and sends it to the humans topside. If you add another sensor, the sensor in charge recognizes and integrates the new sensor. Less downtime can lower on-vessel equipment setup from half a day to half an hour.
Crush Survey Ops Costs
The network array weighs a fraction of the payload of comparable systems, creating cascading returns:
- Requires a smaller, less expensive vessel
- Survey in shallower water
- Survey in rougher weather = Less downtime
- Less payload to lift off the deck = Safer to crew and lower risk of damaging expensive boat machinery
