StarPack is Fugro’s answer to increasing market demand for precise, redundant GNSS positioning solutions,
including extensive QC and accurate timing, from a single, easy to use platform.

StarPack Unit
A StarPack unit consists of a survey grade GNSS receiver and
powerful processor, running Linux multi-tasking operating
system. The receiver is capable of tracking all current (GPS,
GLONASS)and future (Galileo) systems.A StarPack can be
extended with a second receiver (in the same unit) to provide
accurate,GNSS derived heading.

The combination of receiver and processor provides for robust

multiple simultaneous precise position calculations and
extensive QC. For maximum system reliability the internal StarPack Unit
software is embedded on flash memory configured on the
processor. Control and configuration of the system is via the
front panel, a web interface or a serial port.

Four serial ports and LAN interface to read multiple correction

sources (in addition to the integrated receiver) and to provide
multiple outputs to the user are available on
the system rear panel.

All in View Receiver

The OmniSTAR 9200-G2 GNSS receiver is a multi frequency
(L1I L2IL51E1IE5) receiver that incorporates GPS and
GLONASS capability. In addition, it tracks the Fugro L-Band 78mm
satellite broadcast of DGNSS corrections. As a backup it
can receive the DGNSS corrections via Internet.
As well as providing increased accuracy, multi frequency
operation means that the OmniSTAR 9200-G2 DGNSS
receiver is well equipped to cope with the effect of the
OmniSTAR 9200-G2

 EM 2040

Key facts
The EM 2040 multibeam echo
sounder is the first system to bring
all the advanced features of deep
water multibeams to the near bottom
sounding environment. Important
deep water system features included
with the EM 2040 are:
• Dual swath per ping to allow a
doubling of survey speed
• FM chirp to achieve a much longer
range capability
• Complete roll, pitch and yaw
stabilization
• Nearfield focusing both on
transmit and receive
The EM 2040 is modular, allowing
the user to tailor the beamwidths to
the operational requirements, 0.4
by 0.7 and 0.7 by 0.7 degrees. The
transmit fan is divided into three
sectors pinging simultaneously at
separate frequencies. This ensures a
very strong and beneficial dampening
of multibounce interference which
on simpler systems often is seen at
beam angles from 60 degrees and
outwards. The EM 2040 has dual EM 2040 subsea parts is 6000 m. The column between the transducers

• Mine Countermeasures (MCM) thus allowing customers to cover larger areas and save money spent on costly
• Geohazard Surveys surveys.

• Channel Clearance One of the unique features of the 4200 is the optional Multi-Pulse (MP)
• Search and Recovery technology, which places two sound pulses in the water rather than one pulse
• Archeological Surveys like conventional side scan sonar systems. This allows the 4200 to be towed
at speeds of up to 10 knots while still maintaining 100% bottom coverage. In
addition, the MP technology will provide twice the resolution when operating at
normal tow speeds, thus allowing for better target detection and classification
ability. The addition of the optional MP technology provides the operator with
two modes of operation; either High Definition Mode (HDM) or High Speed
Mode (HSM). This software-selectable mode of operation provides the operator
the ability to select the best configuration for the specific job type.

All EdgeTech 4200 systems are comprised of a topside system and a reliable stainless
steel towfish. A choice of dual simultaneous frequency sets are available to the user
and topside processors come in a choice of configurations from portable to rack
mounted units. In addition, an easy-to-use GUI software is supplied with every unit.

Massa C1M2/C1F2 Underwater Connectors

Massa C1M2 male and C1F2 female 2-conductor in-line Underwater
Connectors were developed for the oceanographic community to
provide highly reliable underwater connection. Massa has manufac-
tured and sold over 100,000 connector pairs, and some have been
successfully used for over 20 years in the ocean. There has never been
a failure of a connector reported to Massa.

Massa typically supplies transducers with C1F2 Female Connectors

attached. C1M2 Male Connectors can be purchased separately to
complete the mating connection. The standard C1M2 is attached to a
5 foot cable with a retaining ring included, but connectors can be
fabricated with any length of cable required.

Dura-Spark, Seismic Sound Source

Key Features

 Long life, durable electrodes

 Pulse stability
 High resolution sub-bottom
data, up to 25cm.
 Operator selectable source
depth
 Tip array selection from on
board junction box

Applications

 High and Ultra-High Resolution

geophysical surveys

 Single and multi-channel

acquisition

 Water depths of 5 to >1000m

The Dura-Spark has been designed to provide a stable, repeatable sound source for sub-bottom
geophysical surveys. The long life, durable electrodes produce a consistent pulse signature and keep
operational maintenance to a minimum. This provides increased survey efficiency and equipment
reliability as the sparker tips rarely need replacement.

The Dura-Spark is based on the CAT300 catamaran, providing a stable platform whilst under tow. The
catamaran has robust solid floatation and is easily deployed from all survey vessels.

The Dura-Spark consists of 3 or 5 arrays of 80 tips allowing the operator to tune the source from the
vessel to their application. This flexibility together with selectable source depth allows the source to
be used in both shallow and deep waters.

The typical operational bandwidth of the Dura-Spark is 300Hz to 1.2kHz. When coupled with the
CSP-N Seismic Power Supply the system offers 2000J/s peak discharge rate, as well as industry leading
design and safety standards.

STD/CTD - model SD 204
The SD204 measures, calculates and records sea water conductivity, salinity, temperature, depth (pressure), sound velocity
and water density. Three optional sensors can be added, f. example: dissolved oxygen, fluorescence and turbidity. For
optional sensors with several sensitivity ranges, the SD204 has auto range capability. Data are recorded in physical units.
The accompanying software, SD200W, contains versatile functions for programming, post- and online data processing and
presentations: - multigraph, online plotting, density and depth calculations (weighed profile). The program is continuously
extended according to customer’s requests. The programmed settings and calibration coefficients are maintained in nonvolatile
eeprom, and will not be changed/lost if power is disconnected. Robustness and complete protection from leakage is obtained
by vacuum molding the electronic and all other components in solid polyurethane. On/Off-switching is by a magnetic key or
from keyboard. A sealed battery compartment contains two replaceable C-cells. In practical operation the
battery capacity is sufficient for continuous year-around operation with good margin.
The instrument is equipped with a mooring bar with a shackle at each end. Data are
recorded in physical units and simultaneously transmitted via an RS232 I/O watertight
connector for on-line use.
For remote readout and monitoring, the manufacturer offers several options:
Communication Unit CU901, for two-way communication via Iridium satellite,
