The Gavia AUV system is a vehicle design of modular construction - this allows a user to select the appropriate sensor module for the task to be undertaken.
The Gavia has a sensor module called the GeoSwathPlus , an interferometric bathymetry sonar operating at 500KHz and able to perform Side Scan and Bathymetry data acquisition simultaneously. Gavia has collected a sizeable data library of seafloor and pipeline data and has proved this to be in compliance with IHO survey standards for bathymetry systems.
For full information on this sensor capability please consult with Hydro Products Ltd.
