Resumen

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has developed an automated system for acquiring and processing hydrographic field data in support of its charting mission. The Hydrographic Data Acquisition and Processing System (HDAPS) addresses NOAA’s broad requirement to conduct hydrographic surveys in the coastal waters of the U.S. Systems have been successfully deployed on ships, launches, and small boats. Two types of HDAPS data acquisition systems (DAS) are presented. The first system, based on Hewlett-Packard (HP) hardware, is deployed on ships and launches. The second type is a small boat, 24-volt system, based on 1BM-PC compatible hardware. Both types of DAS are capable of conducting echo sounding and side scan sonar surveys. Data acquired by both systems are processed on an HP-based data processing system.
