Subsea Vessel - 3D Sonar Imaging Computers

We took an existing prototype
and applied our design and engineering expertise to develop a solution that fully meets application needs. These abilities enabled us to deliver this project successfully.”

Product Manager, Captec

The solution is for an international designer and manufacturer of subsea technologies. The customer has built a reputation for delivering top-of-the-range equipment and around-the-clock technical and after-sales support. With a team of specialists dedicated to developing the most up-to-date and innovative solutions, the customer aims to shape the future of subsea operations.

The Challenges:

  • The project required the development and improvement of an existing prototype
  • The customer’s application specific design criteria must be fully satisfied
  • Longevity of supply and extended life are crucial to the application
  • Reduce subsystem power supplies while reducing cable runs
  • Computers must be protected in hostile marine environments
  • Fast, reliable data integration and high quality on-screen rendering

The Solution

  • A bespoke designed 19” rackmountable 3U PC
  • Captec applied its specialist engineering abilities to fully meet design specifications
  • Longevity of supply and extended life achieved through obsolescence management and expert component selection
