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
