This includes Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), which provide precise positioning data essential for accurate survey results. You'll be working with state-of-the-art GNSS receivers that ensure high accuracy and reliability. Gyrocompasses and Motion Reference Units (MRU) are crucial for determining the orientation and movement of survey vessels. You'll use advanced gyrocompasses and MRUs to ensure precise navigation and data collection. Ultra-Short Baseline (USBL) systems are used for underwater positioning and tracking. You'll operate cutting-edge USBL systems to accurately locate and track underwater survey equipment.

Multibeam Echo Sounders (MBES) are used to create detailed maps of the seafloor. You'll work with high-resolution MBES to capture comprehensive bathymetric data. Long Baseline (LBL) systems provide precise underwater positioning over large areas, and you'll use these systems to support complex underwater survey operations. Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are used to provide accurate positioning and orientation data in challenging environments. You'll operate advanced INS to ensure the highest level of data accuracy. Digital Video Systems are used for visual inspections and documentation, and you'll work with high-definition digital video systems to capture detailed visual data. Additionally, you'll use industry-leading survey software to process and analyze data, ensuring that all survey specifications are met.
