The company purchased the AUV as a base vehicle in November 2004, and has worked to integrate and build customised components for it.
The design of the C-Surveyor II is modeled after C&C’s existing C-Surveyor I, and includes a multi-beam echosounder, chirp side scan sonar, chirp sub-bottom profiler, coiled tube driling (CTD) system and a methane detector.
The Edgetech DW106 sub-bottom profiler on board is customised with narrow transmit and receive beams to permit deeper seabed penetration.
