Economy in surveying operations

This one kilometer Trout towed hydrophone array sonar (shown with tail buoy attached) weighs in at under 3/4 of a ton.

A conventional oil-filled hose seismic streamer would weigh over 4.5 tons. The small size and light weight of the Trout design can permit retrieval by hand.

No permanent survey vessel? Using a ship of opportunity, a 16 channel Trout seismic cable can be easily and conveniently transported by air freight to you next survey location. You don't even need a forklift to move it! Completely solid with no fluid filling, shipping and deployment are quick and easy.

Space at a premium? You can perform test and inspection in a very small space with Trout's clean no fluid construction and very compact size. This 16 channel high resolution seismic streamer towed hydrophone array sonar fits on the floor of a tiny office. Don't try this with an oil-filled hose!
