Greensea IQ Introduces Post-Mission Analysis Toolset
Greensea IQ today announced the release of a new post-processing software toolset called Bayonet Insight for its maritime robotics software products deployed to defense forces. Bayonet Insight supports all software deployed on Bayonet Autonomous Underwater Ground Vehicles (AUGVs), EOD Edge and EOD Workspace deployed on Mission Specialist Defender ROVs by VideoRay (an AeroVironment company), RNAV diver navigation systems by STIDD Systems, Bayonet Underwater Control (BUC) systems, and Greensea’s EverClean ship maintenance and inspection robots. The tool was developed in response to a clear and persistent need from operators: faster access to mission insight while it still matters.
Bayonet Insight enables operators to process raw mission data immediately, during a mission or after recovery, and produce valuable intelligence products that can easily be distributed or uploaded into battlespace management platforms such as TAK. The post-mission analysis toolset allows the generation of numerous products, including bathymetry maps, geo-referenced mission summaries, contact reports, sonar and video exports, and plots of any telemetry channel within the system. This type of intelligence traditionally takes hours of processing after a mission using a variety of tools, delaying reporting, decision-making, and follow-on tasking.
“This tool was built in response to clear market demand from operators,” said Luis Mejia, Senior Solutions Manager at Greensea IQ. “Immediate data distributed to all stakeholders is critical to operational efficiency.”
Developed as a standalone application and distributed with all Greensea software, Bayonet Insight allows users to load mission data files and automatically organize critical telemetry, mission events, sensor data, sonar data, and video into a structured workspace. From there, operators can quickly generate plots and data products as well as 2D and 3D bathymetric visualizations. Interactive tools allow users to inspect specific points along a mission track, capture synchronized sonar and video snapshots, and extract precise measurements and coordinates.
One of the most significant benefits is the ability to export georeferenced bathymetric images and mission data directly as GeoTIFFs, enabling seamless integration with mission planning, reporting, and GIS systems in a single workflow.
Bayonet Insight has already been demonstrated in live operational settings, where it successfully enabled rapid data product generation and on-time intelligence for mission stakeholders and decision makers. Its development reflects Greensea IQ’s continued focus on pairing advanced autonomy and robotics with practical, operator-driven software solutions. This software will be available to customers with current EVERGREEN subscriptions.
“This isn’t software built in isolation,” Lu Mejia added. “It’s a direct result of listening to the people doing the work and understanding how critical speed and clarity are once a mission ends.”

TrustLink™ Data is a complete harness solution that delivers assured 10Gbit/s data transmission across cable assemblies up to 10 metres, tested and qualified to operate at 600 bar. Designed for modern sensors, sonar platforms and real-time underwater operations, it preserves signal integrity throughout the connection for advanced systems in marine and offshore, ocean science and naval applications.
Sensors, real‑time telemetry and high‑resolution imaging now generate far more data than earlier generations, placing greater demands on the subsea link that carries information into the wider setup. As applications grow in complexity, system manufacturers and users developing and integrating advanced subsea technologies require connectivity that preserves speed, consistency and signal quality even in environments where pressure, movement and electrical interference are present.
A complete high-performance harness solution built around TrustLink TrustLink Data addresses this with a complete harness solution designed for reliable high-data-rate transmission. It combines a 19-contact connector, a specifically designed MacArtney data cable and controlled termination to perform as a single integrated unit. Within this configuration, the core transmission section functions as a cable harness composed of CCP–Cable–CCP, while the complete TrustLink Data assembly includes FCR/BCR terminations at each end.
Paul Anthony, Global Business Development Manager: “Underwater applications require clean, uninterrupted data to perform reliably. When you picture real-time sonar tracking the seabed with clarity, the quality of the connection delivering that information becomes essential. TrustLink Data provides this through a complete harness solution that carries both power and data with confidence and speed. It integrates easily with new or existing platforms, providing a robust, practical solution that reduces uncertainty and supports critical decision-making.”
Enhanced performance below the surface The development of TrustLink Data reflects two years of focused engineering, built on extensive research, stepwise prototyping and repeated testing across multiple cable configurations. MacArtney’s in‑house pressure‑testing capabilities enabled validation under realistic subsea conditions and guided precise refinements to the cable, connector and termination assembly.
Every termination is handled by MacArtney technicians who have undergone dedicated technical training and internal certification, ensuring the required precision. The result is a harness solution shaped by thoroughness and verified through rigorous testing for reliable high-data-rate transmission and stable signal handling down to 6,000 metres.
Designed for integration across high-bandwidth applications Tested to the RFC 2544 and ITU-T Y.1564 standards, it supports demanding subsea applications, including sonar systems, imaging platforms, advanced sensors, ROVs, AUVs, and long-term monitoring solutions. Its stable, predictable performance provides a dependable foundation for mission-critical equipment across the underwater domain.
Added value for a data-driven underwater world As subsea systems push toward higher bandwidth and greater autonomy, traditional copper-based interfaces are reaching their limits because their electrical and physical characteristics do not meet the data volumes demanded by today’s modern subsea infrastructures.
TrustLink™ Data strengthens the data acquisition chain, where clarity and signal integrity have a decisive influence on overall operational performance. Available through MacArtney’s global operations from April, it offers a robust connection for the next generation of underwater technologies.
GeoAcoustics and Ocean Floor Geophysics Collaborate on Single Towfish Side Scan Sonar and Magnetometer Solution
GeoAcoustics Ltd and Ocean Floor Geophysics (OFG) have joined forces to develop a combined side scan sonar and magnetometer system as a single towfish. The new configuration integrates the GeoAcoustics GeoScan side scan sonar with OFG’s Self-Compensating Magnetometer (SCM), bringing acoustic imaging and magnetic detection together in a single streamlined platform for the first time.
The collaboration builds on the high-resolution imaging capability of the simultaenous dual-frequency GeoScan system and the SCM’s unique real-time compensation to address a long-standing operational challenge in marine survey. Traditionally, magnetometers must be towed at a significant distance behind side scan sonars to avoid interference from magnetic components on the towbody. This requires the deployment of two separate towfish, either towed inline one following the other, or on separate cables. These conventional configurations of marine magnetometers increases deck handling complexity, layback management and operational risk, particularly from smaller vessels and USVs
The new configuration integrates the SCM directly onto the tail of the GeoScan side scan sonar via a dedicated stinger assembly. The SCM’s self-compensation capability enables it to operate effectively in close proximity to metallic survey hardware, making true single-towfish deployment possible.
The development also reflects the growing use of uncrewed surface vessels (USV) in hydrographic and geophysical operations. Launching multiple towed systems from a USV presents significant practical challenges and increased operational risks. A single GeoScan towfish integrating the SCM is a simpler configuration lowering risk to remote and autonomous survey operations.
By reducing two towed bodies to one, the system simplifies launch and recovery, improves survey efficiency and enhances operational safety. The solution is particularly relevant for unexploded ordnance (UXO) surveys, where high-resolution seabed imagery and magnetic anomaly detection are routinely required together to identify and classify targets.
“Bringing side scan sonar and a self-compensating magnetometer together in a single towfish represents a significant step forward in survey integration,” said Richard Dowdeswell, Chief Commercial Officer at GeoAcoustics. “We believe the configuration, made possible by OFG’s innovative self-compensation technology demonstrates what can be achieved when two specialist companies collaborate to solve real operational challenges.”
“The SCM was engineered to actively compensate for nearby magnetic influences, which fundamentally changes how magnetometers can be deployed in marine survey,” said Matthew Kowalczyk, General Manager at Ocean Floor Geophysics. “By integrating with the GeoScan platform, we are enabling a compact, single-towfish configuration that is better suited to modern, remote and uncrewed survey operations.”
Beyond UXO detection, the combined system can support cable route investigations, marine construction projects, archaeological surveys and subsea infrastructure inspection, where acoustic and magnetic datasets provide complementary insight.
GeoAcoustics and Ocean Floor Geophysics are currently progressing development of the single-towfish configuration, with availability anticipated in Q3 2026.
