The new MA3 Multi-Aspect® survey system that reduces the time and complexity of survey operations, delivering unsurpassed results

• ‘CLASSIC MODE’ operates as a traditional multibeam, but with enhanced Dual and Quad Mode performance and 100kHz to 1MHz operating frequency capability.
• ‘VOX MODE’ unlocks a new standard in efficiency and data quality with the patented MA3 principle. The added advantage of UDSD® user defined sampling density, provides NEQD™ near near end quality data, straight out of the system, eliminating the need for external post-processing.

The new patented MA3 Multi-Aspect® operating principle, enables multiple, real-time observations voxels, at multiple aspect angles and increased survey speed.  All sensors and software required to perform a hydrographic survey are included and native to the Voxometer. It is a unified system powered by multiple new patented technologies, which measure voxels.

How It Operates

The MA3 Multi-Aspect® Principle ensures that the target surveyed is ‘viewed’ multiple times by different soundings, at different times, and from different angles. As a result, there is high confidence and reliability of the collected data and ‘noise’ is quickly and easily discarded. Surveys can be performed at high speed in a single pass without compromising the data quality.

What It Provides

UDSD® – User Defined Sampling Density – is the world’s first operating mode that samples the bottom exactly where you want it, with the precise density you chose, providing highly accurate and precise NEQD™ near end-quality data.  Data that is not required can be easily identified and eliminated on the spot.

With selectable frequencies from 100kHz to 1MHz MegaRes®, the Voxometer offers the widest range and highest resolution possible, to pick up detail that other frequencies cannot.
