Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), through the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), requires the acquisition of hydrographic data using an Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV). The USV must be fully equipped with a shallow/mid water multibeam echo sounder (MBES) capable of achieving hydrographic surveys in water depths up to 700 metres.
This work supports CHS priorities in the Arctic, including improved charting for safe navigation within Canada’s northern waters, and contributes to national efforts such as the Low Impact Shipping Corridors (LISC) and related safety, environmental, and community access initiatives.
