The UIS(TM) is an integrated real time 3D sonar system for underwater inspection applications including port and harbor construction, maintenance, port expansion, maritime security, and route clearance surveys. The all-in-one system is comprised of the real time Echoscope® 3D sonar, a day/night camera, positioning system, an easy to use precision pole assembly and operator's laptop.
