Time Synced Precision
Automatically synced to the microsecond through a single topside data stream.
Flexible Precision
Stockpile a few dozen nodes, grab however many a survey’s parameters may need, connect them and “go.”
Every node is identical and interchangeable. Instead of humans micro-managing sensor relationships, they figure it out independently. One of the sensors takes charge, coordinates data from the network and sends it to the humans topside.
If you add another sensor, the sensor in charge recognizes and integrates the new sensor.
Less downtime can lower on-vessel equipment setup from half a day to half an hour.
Build Quality
Specialization matters
Neutrally-Buoyant for Any Deployment
Conventional or unmanned, above and below the surface.
Integrated Tracking
No messy attachments
Ultra Compact
Smaller sensors can reduce an array’s size and weight by a factor of 4-5.
More Definition
Get sharper data with faster sampling rates and tighter survey tracks with more compact mags.
Make Synapse Array a perfect fit for your application.
