A subsea imagery solution for every application
With only 24% of the ocean floor being mapped with a submetric resolution, the ocean’s seabed is Earth’s last frontier.
Mapping the seafloor, protecting marine habitats, hunting for wrecks, studying underwater geo-hazards…Those are challenges for the years to come.
It is to help in that field, that Exail has developed a large range of sensors designed to address the full spectrum of subsea imagery applications, from sub-bottom profiling and seabed mapping to water column monitoring.
