Surveying the wreck of the HMS Hood (1891)

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 11:35:47 GMT

See how Teledyne Marine surveyed the wreck of HMS Hood with the Teledyne RESON SeaBat T51 800 kilo hertz multibeam echosounder.

In August 2023, Teledyne Marine set out to survey the wreck of HMS Hood (1891). The purpose of the survey was to document the status of the wreck with the latest in high resolution sonar technology.

The wreck is located at the entrance of Portland Harbour, Dorset, UK. HMS Hood was built in 1891 with an impressive length of 125 meters. In 1914, after 20 years of service, she was deliberately sunk to act as a “blockship,” to stop U-boats or torpedoes from entering the port.

Still faithfully resting at the harbour entry, the wreck of HMS Hood, once a popular dive spot, is deteriorating with age and it is understood, no longer safe to dive on.

By using the Teledyne RESON SeaBat T51 800 kilo hertz multibeam echosounder with the full swath and the smallest available receiver beamwidth, Teledyne Marine determined the status of the ship – delivering detailed, and accurate images of this largely forgotten piece of local naval history.

The Nekton Maldives Mission, 4th September to 7th October, is undertaking the first systematic survey and sampling of the Maldives from the surface to 1000 metre depths. Almost nothing is known about what is below 30 metres, the vast majority of the country.

In partnership with the Government of Maldives, the Mission will help create extensive new marine protected areas and ensure the ocean continues to protect and provide for the Maldivian people.

Guest: Jonathan Wallen, a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manoa in Hawaii

In this summer series of podcasts, we introduce the winners of our Teledyne Marine Academic Grant for 2020. This grant offers universities and institutions the opportunity to utilize several of our flagship products free of charge for up to a six-month period to support their research programs. In this episode, we meet our final winner, Jonathan Wallen, a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manoa in Hawaii. Jonathan's research is in the area of autonomous robotics and dynamical systems. In his current project, Jonathan uses a Teledyne Reson Hydrophone to dock an AUV to a floating wave energy converter.

The Latest in Unmanned Vehicles and Hydrographic Surveying_PM Demo

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 15:45:53 GMT

Join Teledyne Technologies and MARTAC live from Black Creek, south of Jacksonville, Florida, when we present online in water demos featuring the latest in unmanned vehicles and hydrographic surveying. Near-shore survey can be a challenging task even under ideal conditions. Whether the survey is conducted for safety of navigation, construction or infrastructure management, or other scientific purposes, these platforms typically involve multiple sensors operating simultaneously.

Teledyne offers integrated solutions to enable our customers to collect the data they need, with world leading sensors and software, as efficiently as possible. Experience the power of Teledyne’s sensors, the Teledyne RESON SeaBat T20 Multibeam sonar and the Teledyne Optech Lidar CL-360M, seamlessly collecting data processed with Teledyne PDS and CARIS Onboard all installed on the MARTAC MANTAS T12 USV.

Product grant: Teledyne RESON SeaBat T50-R Multibeam Sonar / INS

The project's aim is to assess the physical stability of the seafloor in the extremely energetic tidal flows of western Scotland, UK: The Gulf of Corryvreckan and the Falls of Lora, Loch Etive.

The nature of the seabed beneath extreme tidal flows (flow speed > 4m/s) has been little studied, mainly due to the obvious operational challenges posed by the area's hydrodynamics. However, these regions are now receiving research attention due to their value for renewable energy and the insights into turbulent flows that they can bring.

As a student researcher, I am working with a team from the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) on plans to develop survey techniques for mobile bedform analysis. By comparing two bathymetric data sets (one collected in 2012, and one using Teledyne equipment scheduled for 2020), bedform migration rates and thence the physical stability of the seabed can be quantified.

Monitoring Basking Sharks in the waters of Coll in the Inner Hebrides of...

Wed, 04 Jan 2017 14:58:35 GMT

Biologists from Aberdeen University wanted to find out if sonar equipment could be used to learn more about the movements of basking sharks. Most of the current knowledge about basking sharks is based on what is visible at the surface and, as such, an investigation was sought to determine if surface observations matched what was happening below the surface. In particular, the scientists were interested to know if the sharks were 'stacking', and whether there was evidence of young sharks.To support this research, Teledyne RESON supplied Aberdeen University with a SeaBat 7128 forward-looking multibeam imaging system. The project was carried out from 7-9 August 2012 off the waters of Coll in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Basking sharks are known to reside here and sightings are particularly common at this time of year.

Teledyne RESON SeaBat 7150 C portable Echosounder

Fri, 13 Nov 2015 01:00:00 GMT

Traditionally, SeaBat deepwater sonars have been known for being quite difficult to move around, but that is about to change as Teledyne RESON has built a portable SeaBat 7150. The entire system is built into a container making it the world’s first portable SeaBat deepwater sonar system. This particular system was developed to plan routes for underwater cables and pipelines.

- This is the latest member of the SeaBat 7150 sonar family and it is one quarter of the size of the first system we built. We have taken the high resolution portions of one of our deep water mapping systems and put it in a very portable system, explains Paul Jubinski.

Contact us for more information>

He adds that the aim was to make a multibeam system that you can take anywhere in the world without having to transit a multibeam-equipped vessel. Equipping a vessel that already is near to the survey area can vastly change the budget for a small survey located far from the nearest multibeam-equipped vessel. Teledyne RESON has designed and built all of the sonar components and the electronics in the portable electronics enclosure. Furthermore, the system uses the same standard sonar processor which is used in all the SeaBat 7150 sonar systems. So, even though it is a small compact system it has all the capabilities that teledyne RESON offers in even the largest of the 7150 sonar systems.

A standard 20-foot shipping container was modified by Stabbert Yacht and Ship (a division of Stabbert Maritime, Seattle, Washington, USA) to produce a truck and ship portable van that can transport all of the sonar system components and then serve as a well-appointed lighted, air-conditioned work space on the deck of the survey vessel. The arrival of the containerized SeaBat 7150 can turn a suitably prepared vessel into a deep-water survey platform after a few days of mobilization dockside.
