The Thurn QuickDip SideScan Sonar system is a breakthrough in UAV drone-based sonar search & inspection / recovery.
This sensor system is designed to support:
- Diver submerged infrastructure inspections
- Search and Recovery missions
- Scour (fluvial erosion) projects
- River Channel Assessments
- Debris and object detection
Inspections and can provide answers to questions previously only possible by deployment of a diving team. Therefore, the system has capability to save both time and cost.
