CHS – Navy Collaboration

•

Collaborate with Defence Research and Development Canada onboard CFAV Quest

•

374 Sq Km sounded

•

Quest single beam; OLEX logging software; calibration monitor R2Sonic pole-mounted MB

•

Depths (MB vs OLEX) agreed on average within a standard deviation of 1.2m or 1% of the average depth

•

OLEX track surveys can achieve CATZOC C reconnaissance with potential improvement for charting
