The CEE JET 1600 package includes the CEESCOPE-R™ Wi-Fi enabled echo sounder with RTK GNSS and a special enclosure designed for installation on the rear deck of a personal watercraft (PWC) / jet ski. A very useful feature of the system, especially when it comes time to conduct user training, is the provision of a WiFi access point allowing multiple …
Trinchero Family Estates use Recycled USV for Wastewater Surveys
After a fatality elsewhere in the wine industry related to wastewater lagoon operation, Napa Valley producer Trinchero Family Estates (TFE) were looking at how to reduce risk involved with their infrequent wastewater lagoon bathymetry surveys. With the current procedure involving a CEESCOPE echo sounder and jon boat with electric trolling motor, TFE were hoping to retain the CEESCOPE and Hydromagic …
CEE USA Conduct Mine Tailings Impoundment Survey “on the fly”
Mine tailings operators often need to report the volume of water in their tailings impoundments regularly or periodically for regulatory purposes; many sites also use tailings water volumes in site water balance engineering calculations. The latter might need fairly routine monitoring of the water pool. Unmanned boats (USVs) are an ideal method to survey most tailings impoundments, as personnel safety …
Wide Band Echo Sounder Boards for CEESCOPE™ and CEE ECHO™
Echo sounder operating frequencies may be set by the echo sounder electronics or the transducer used but in all cases the transducer frequency must match the frequency of the connected echo sounder. Transducers are designed to have peak performance at certain discrete frequencies; the physical characteristics of the transducer sets the frequency of operation. Very high frequency sonars not typically …

Beautiful Salt Lagoon Robotic Surveys with the CEE-USV™
California land surveying firm KDD Meridian were contracted to perform a bathymetric survey of a salt lagoon in south San Diego bay. The lagoon was about 1km (0.6 miles) long and it would have been incredibly time-consuming to survey using conventional land survey GNSS rod measurements from a manned boat, so it was decided that using sonar equipment was the …
New CEE LINE™ Device Plugin for Hydromagic
Eye4Software Hydromagic has included an advanced device plugin for the CEESCOPE™ and CEE ECHO™ for several years. Now the CEE LINE™ joins the list of supported devices with a comprehensive plugin that not only allows easy collection of sonar data from the echo sounder but also facilitates adjustment of the instrument’s operating settings. The sound velocity and maximum depth ranges …
CEE-USV™ Undertakes Robotic Reservoir Surveys in Utah, USA
The ongoing drought in the western USA has caused drastic drops in reservoir water levels across the region, forcing operators to reevaluate strategies for water supplies to include dredging of sediment fill-in. Requested by the local reservoir operator to conduct a capacity evaluation, Utah engineering firm Jones & Demille used a combination of drone and CEE-USV™ data to construct a …
CEE-PILOT™ Robotic Navigation Module
Simplified User Interface Even more important that laser straight survey lines, the CEE-PILOT™ navigation system offers a simple user interface. There is no requirement for proprietary software or additional shore to USV radios; all of the mission planning is undertaken within the Eye4Software Hydromagic hydrographic acquisition software running on the shore PC. Survey lines or waypoints are constructed in Hydromagic …
