Bathyswath-2 PSM
Bathyswath-2 PSM is a fully automated depth survey system. It is designed to be fixed to hydroelectric dam walls or cooling water inlets. It scans the bottom at pre-programmed intervals, processes the data, compiles a report in PDF format, and emails it out over 3G/4G mobile or wired communications channels. It compares the results of previous scans with the current one to assess the rate of change.
