Argeo have developed a new low-noise high-sensitive tailor-made electrode receiver system for AUVs combined with magnetometers and a controlled active electric current source.
The passive electromagnetic system measures the electric and magnetic fields in the seawater, which can be used to measure the electric field from a Cathodic Protection system, track buried power line cables and measure the self-induced electric field from Deep Sea Minerals (DSM).
The active electromagnetic system generates and measures a controlled electric and magnetic field in the seawater, which can be used to detect Un-eXploded Ordnance (UXO), tracking of buried pipelines and detect and delineate DSM.
