​Key Features & Benefits

  • High resolution acoustic profiling
    Enables characterization of natural and anthropogenic sound sources, including marine mammal vocalizations and ambient noise variability.
  • Autonomous, long duration operation
    Proven APEX float endurance supports remote and extended deployments with minimal maintenance.
  • Mission configurable sampling
    Depth intervals, sampling duration, gain settings, and trigger thresholds can be tailored to specific research objectives and environments.
  • Combined acoustic and environmental context
    Optional integration with CTD and other environmental sensors enables correlation of acoustic observations with oceanographic conditions.
  • Broad deployment capability
    Supports open ocean, coastal, and under ice operations, extending monitoring into challenging or hard to reach regions.​
