The complete system will be installed on the launch ALBATROSS, and will aid the Chilean Navy with the development of new nautical cartography for Chilean Waters.

S410 Deepwater hydrographic and broadband echosounder has an enhanced hydrographic echosounder that supports single channel operation, and has a high ping rate of 20Hz at 15m. The integrated software package, PDS2000 allows for seamless use of data files between data aquisition editing and chart production.
