Weather Monitoring Stations, Marine Transducers, Side-Scan Sonar & Underwater Altimeters

Airmar Technology Corporation is a leading developer of ultrasonic and acoustic sensing solutions. Our marine transducers push the boundaries of ultrasonic technology to provide superior surveying capabilities at great depths, and are ideal for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), unmanned underwater vehicles/autonomous underwater vehicles (UUVs/AUVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).

We also provide rugged, compact ultrasonic weather stations that deliver high-accuracy wind, temperature, pressure and humidity data for land & marine fixed sites, deployable stations and dynamic platforms, including USVs, ASVs and UGVs.

Weather Monitoring Stations

Our rugged ultrasonic weather stations offer high-accuracy measurement and output of wind speed and direction, air temperature and barometric pressure, with some models also offering relative humidity, two- or three-axis compasses, pitch and roll, and GPS position. The low-maintenance units are easy to install and are designed with IPX4, IPX6 or IPx7 protection.

The product portfolio includes options for fixed-site deployments such as UAV ground control stations and vessel launch areas, as well as mobile marine platforms such as USVs and ASVs.

Underwater Altimeters & Ultrasonic Depth Sensors

Our ultrasonic EchoRange Smart Sensors provide high-accuracy readings of underwater temperature and depth sensor for applications such as inspection and hydrographic surveying, transferring NMEA 0183 data in real time to a computer via RS-422. The EchoRange+ variants also offer bi-directional NMEA 0183 interfaces, as well as an OEM-exclusive Echo Envelope Developer Option that allows users to obtain detailed echo envelope data which can be displayed as an analog waveform to provide information about the seafloor type.

We also offer an altimeter kit for AUVs, ROVs and marine robotics platforms that includes a compact transceiver board for the vessel’s electronics chassis and a separate underwater transducer. The subsea altimeter can be programmed to operate in manual or fully automatic sounding modes.

Single & Multi-Beam Marine Transducers

We provide a range of single- and multi-beam transducers for both shallow- and deep-water applications such as surveying and sub-bottom profiling, with options for hull mounting as well as installation on portable apparatus and towed bodies.

A range of frequency options are available, and many models are CHIRP-ready for transmitting and receiving over multiple frequencies and ensuring enhanced detail and performance.

Side-Scan Sonar Transducers

Our side-scan sonar transducers have been designed to meet the needs of professional oceanographic applications such as surveying and detailed high-resolution bottom mapping. Custom configurations can be provided upon request.
