Impact Subsea Launches the ISP360 Profiling Sonar together with IS3 Acoustic Signalling Standard
Impact Subsea, a leading manufacturer of underwater sensors, is proud to announce the launch of its newest sensor, the ISP360 Profiling Sonar with IS3 acoustic signalling technology.
The ISP360 is a high-performance profiling sonar that sets a new standard in measurement precision and range capability.
A highly compact and power efficient 1° profiling sonar, with up to 80 meters range and a 0.35mm range accuracy. The ISP360 can be operated in profiling or imaging modes.
Acoustically the ISP360 can operate over the frequency range of 600kHz to 1,250kHz using Continuous Wave (CW), Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse (CHIRP) or the Impact Subsea Signalling Standard (IS3). 
IS3 signalling uses advanced phase modulation and coding techniques to provide the range resolution benefits of CHIRP, but without the angular distortion inherent in CHIRP signalling. Critically IS3 also allows multiple ISP360 profilers to operate at the same frequency with significantly reduced interference. This removes the requirement for ‘ping syncing’ traditionally required for multiple mechanically scanned profilers – enabling much faster scanning capability when using multiple profilers and thus decreased survey times.
“We are excited to introduce the ISP360 Profiling Sonar to the market,” said Ben Grant, Managing Director of Impact Subsea. The ISP360 is a game-changer for underwater profiling and positioning.”
“With integrated IS3 signalling technology coupled with a highly sensitive broadband composite transducer, the ISP360 delivers unparalleled accuracy for sonar profiling with optional pitch and roll, all from a single device.”

• IS3 acoustic signalling for minimised noise between multiple profilers
• Optional integration of pitch and roll for even more flexibility and control
• Integration with seaView software for operation and data generation
• Software Development Kit for direct integration into third party systems
The ISP360 is perfect for a wide range of underwater applications, including:
• Pipeline profiling
• Trench profiling
• Positioning of a vehicle in a tank
• Internal pipe & tank profiling
• Asset positioning
• Bridge foundation survey
“The ISP360 is a valuable asset for anyone who needs to collect accurate and detailed data about the underwater environment,” said Ben Grant of Impact Subsea. “With its advanced features and versatility, we are confident that the ISP360 will quickly become the industry standard for mechanically scanned sonar profiling.”
If you're looking for a powerful, all-in-one solution for your sonar profiling needs, the ISP360 is the perfect choice.
South African drought dust fuelled record ocean bloom
Increasing drought events in southern Africa could benefit Indian Ocean marine life and atmospheric carbon removal, according to a new study of the Madagascar Bloom – one of the world’s largest recorded phytoplankton blooms.
The study, led by the University of Athens (NKUA) and co-authored by scientists at the UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC), linked the unprecedented marine algal bloom to an influx of nutrient-containing dust blown over the Indian Ocean from South Africa.
This saw phytoplankton levels at three times the level normally expected at the time of year it occurred, spreading from southeast of Madagascar into the wider Indian Ocean for three weeks longer than normal.
These marine algae form the basis of the marine food chain and help to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by using it to grow then being eaten or dying and falling as organic matter to the seafloor.
NOC co-author Dr Fatma Jebri, says, "Our study shows how African desert dust being blown over and deposited onto the ocean surface was key in triggering this unprecedented oceanic phytoplankton bloom in the Southeast of Madagascar, at a time of the year when blooms are uncommon.”
Professor Meric Srokosz, also from NOC, adds, “This is important as it suggests that as deserts release more dust into the air and that dust settles on the ocean's surface, it could help phytoplankton growth, potentially increasing the amount of CO2 the ocean absorbs from the atmosphere."
The study used satellite data to study the causes of major phytoplankton blooms, focusing on the unprecedented Madagascar Bloom in late 2019 to early 2020, which was found to be the largest on record going back 24 years.
It’s already known that dust from the Sahara Desert often crosses the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas and that when these particles settle on land or in the ocean, they deliver essential nutrients that may boost plant and marine life growth.
However, the relationship between desertification, dust emissions and ocean fertilisation has been poorly understood.
The new study, published in PNAS Nexus, marks a significant step in unravelling these connections.
The scientists worked through the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Living Planet Fellowships Poseidon and Pyroplankton.
Lead author, John Gittings, from the University of Athens, says, “In addition to satellite data from the ESA Climate Change Initiative Ocean Colour project, we utilised information from ESA’s Climate Change Initiative Soil Moisture project and ESA’s Science for Society Biological Pump and Carbon Exchange Processes project. We also incorporated satellite data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service and the Copernicus Marine Service.
"Having access to such rich satellite datasets enabled us to clearly track the extent of this massive bloom and pinpoint the dust events responsible for it.”
He adds, "While this extensive phytoplankton bloom was highly unusual, trends in rising air temperatures, aridity and dust emissions in southern Africa indicate that such events may become more frequent in the future.
“Alongside recent discoveries of ocean fertilisation caused by drought-induced megafires in Australia, our findings suggest a potential connection between climate change, drought, aerosols and ocean blooms.”
ESA’s Marie-Helene Rio added, “Oceans cover two-thirds of our planet and are vital to the health of our ecosystems. Understanding how climate change is altering their biological processes is not just a matter of scientific inquiry, it’s crucial for life on Earth.”
Wavefront Sentinel IDS selected by MARSS for naval contract in SE Asia
Wavefront Systems Ltd., a leader in sonar technology, has been awarded a contract by global defense company MARSS Group to deliver its Sentinel IDS® (Intruder Detection Sonar) as part of MARSS’s NiDAR surveillance system for a fleet of Corvette-class vessels deployed in South-East Asia.

Miros Launches PredictifAI - A New Wave and Vessel Motion Prediction Technology
Miros, an industry leader in real-time ocean insights for maritime and offshore operations, has launched its new wave and vessel motion prediction technology.
This next-generation product, named ‘PredictifAI’, delivers a real-time, in-operation picture of the wave field around a vessel providing deterministic prediction of ocean waves and vessel motion in the range of seconds to a couple of minutes in advance.
PredictifAI pairs artificial intelligence (AI) with X-band radar and local high-accuracy wave height measurements to deliver a monitoring solution that automatically adapts to varying sea and weather conditions.
Miros applies this new and unique dual-source measurement concept using its WaveSystem technology, which tightly integrates measurement sources to reliably operate in both simple and complex sea states.
PredictifAI reduces the unknowns from statistical wave estimates and forecasts to achieve the level of accuracy and reliability needed for the safe management of critical operations, avoiding quick and uninformed decisions.
Crucially, the solution doesn’t require calibration, modelling, or any other twin representation of the vessel – it creates its own digital twin automatically. That means vessel owners and operators, in need of short-term, highly accurate wave and motion prediction to safeguard their critical operations, can benefit right away.
Marius Five Aarset, Miros CEO, said: “For 40 years, Miros has been a pioneer in high-quality ocean technology, relentlessly pushing boundaries to enhance the efficiency and safety of offshore operations without compromising quality. With PredictifAI it is no different and this is the next step in this development.
“PredictifAI is a further demonstration of our commitment to staying ahead of the wave, inspiring confidence that will shape the future of the sector. The result of the hard-work of our in-house team of industry experts, this next-generation technology represents a significant leap forward in maritime safety and operational efficiency.”
Collaboration has been crucial to the development of PredictifAI, with Miros’ key offshore customers being early adopters of the technology ahead of a wider rollout.
The ability to predict waves accurately and reliably in advance unlocks a wide range of benefits for the offshore sector, optimizing operational efficiency in activities such as wind turbine installation, jacking operations, cable and pipelay campaigns, diving support operations, and ROV launch.
Forecasting incoming single waves, wave trains, vessel motion patterns, and timing of these provide valuable insights for a wide range of on-deck and overside operations, and ensures better decision-making and risk management, as well as mitigating the risk of accidents in scenarios such as connecting a gangway.
PredictifAI can also feed into dynamic positioning systems, giving offshore operators advanced warning that waves with certain characteristics and vessel motion effects are approaching.
Gunnar Prytz, Miros CTO, said: “By combining AI with site-specific sea state measurements in real-time, we are giving vessel operators the power to see into the immediate future, enabling them to make informed decisions and manage critical operations with unprecedented confidence.
“When Miros was formed four decades ago the idea of wave prediction would have seemed like science fiction, but setting new standards for ocean technology has always been core to the business and I would like to thank our team for their work in making this market-leading solution a reality."
