Abstract
As a leading provider of high-performance underwater acoustic technology, Marport Deep Sea Technology is introducing to market next-generation sonar systems based on their advanced Software Defined Sonar (SDS) signal processing system. Seeking a demonstration platform for these new systems, Marport investigated existing Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) technology, and identified a opportunity to develop an innovative new vehicle; the SQX-1 AUV.
