- Planning the survey grid for bathymetric surveys
- Grasshopper mode for bathymetric surveys
OVERVIEW
Only one of its kind training to learn how to perform bathymetric surveys with echo sounders integrated with a drone.
Students should have the knowledge and practical experience covered by training:
- UgCS Basics
- UgCS AreaScan and True Terrain Following Missions
Can be provided at the SPH Engineering office or using video conferencing software.
Duration: up to 4 hours.
The price is for a group of up to 4 students.
Prerequisites:
Completed UgCS AreaScan and True Terrain following missions training or equivalent knowledge and experience.
Trainee has to perform True Terrain Following mission test flight over the ground in safe and controlled environment. Remote review of telemetry and SkyHub positioning log files will be performed at the beginning of the session. If a trainee can't demonstrate results of completed missions, the trainer will cancel the training session, and it has to be rescheduled.
