Sonardyne 8305-3111 Autonomous Monitoring Transponder

Autonomous Monitoring Transponder (AMT)

The Type 8305 AMT is a long-endurance Compatt 6 based transponder extensively used for subsea survey tasks, and is capable of autonomously acquiring acoustic ranges and sensor data without surface control.

The data is time-stamped and logged internally for recovery via the integrated high-speed acoustic telemetry modem. This autonomy allows measurements to be made over a long period of time without requiring a surface vessel or ROV to command the process.

This enables new applications that save vessel and survey time so reducing cost and risk.
