It gives users an extra level of scene awareness to ensure inspection and monitoring tasks are completed safely and ef? ciently with the same real-time 3D data and multi-aspect imaging as enjoyed uniquely by Echoscope users. Providing the same real- time volumetric 3D data as the Echoscope allows use of real-time and post-processing MacArtney is ready to launch an all-new, all-electric launch software applications (Underwater Survey and recovery system for the ocean space market.
