Revelare underway profiler

Made in Australia, using off-the-shelf industrial automation components, connectors, cables and an Australian made free-fall winch.

Made with globally available parts which means it's easy to service and maintain in the field.

Can be fitted with sound velocity, turbidity, dissolved gas and other water column sensors.

Can be used to assist with seabed sampling as the powerful bundled winch can support a mini-Pederson or petite Ponar grab.

Using a user friendly touch-screen or networked interface, profiling can be triggered manually, or automatically using time, depth, speed and surface sound velocity data sourced via Ethernet link to industry standard acquisition software, including QINSy.

The system boasts a very low SWaP with only a 24V battery power supply and a small installation footprint. It can be used with an A-frame, several davit options, or installed with custom deployment systems in un-crewed surface vessels.

Can supply custom davits and launch systems to suit any vessel size or type.

The controller operates autonomously to conduct underway profiling in depths up to 100 metres, optimised for speeds of 4-8 knots.

The system automatically computes cast trajectory and operates the winch to freewheel the sensor during the downcast and retrieve when it reaches a preset safety altitude above the seabed.
