Abstract

A sea evaluation of the Kelvin Hughes MS48 hydrographic echo sounder together with its digitiser was undertaken in July 1975 with a view to its possible future introduction into the RN Hydrographic Surveying Fleet. Particular attention was paid to all operational and physical characteristics, robustness and durability. Signal generators were used to examine those design specifications incapable of being tested by practical surveying operations.
