Teledyne Geospatial is committed to supporting key missions for maritime safety, such as object and change detection around critical underwater infrastructure (CUI), with solutions that deliver rapid data intelligence. Alongside Teledyne Marine and Teledyne FLIR, Teledyne Geospatial will demonstrate a rapid method for underwater surveillance. This involves deploying an airplane equipped with airborne lidar that provides high-speed, high-resolution underwater surveillance that is 45 times faster than traditional methods and is delivered through CARIS software. This method is the fastest way to sweep for underwater objects and disturbances before deploying vessels in smaller targeted areas, supporting SeaSEC’s mandate for the detection, classification, and localization of objects around critical underwater infrastructure.
Teledyne Geospatial will leverage its teams from offices in both Canada and the Netherlands at the event, participating in challenges for seabed mapping, situational awareness, and object detection.
