Small-Boat Survey Systems

Abstract

USAWES has developed a hydrographic survey package which is of a general nature. It includes software that can support a variety of commercially available hardware. Two types of equipment configurations are available with the system: the first configuration places most of the equipment on the shore, whereas the second places most of the equipment on the boat. The most important part of the development is a complete software package intended to answer most of the needs of US Army Corps of Engineer Districts for small-boat surveys. The package includes presurvey line generation and equipment definition programs, a versatile survey program, and several postsurvey programs for plan-view and cross-section plotting, dredging computations, tide removal, and graphical screen editing. All software is form-driven and is written in FORTRAN. Keywords: Dredging; Hydrographic surveys; Depth finding. (edc)
