9. CHS – Navy Collaboration
Collaborate with Defence Research and Development Canada onboard CFAV Quest
374 Sq Km sounded
Quest single beam; OLEX logging software; calibration monitor R2Sonic pole-mounted MB
Depths (MB vs OLEX) agreed on average within a standard deviation of 1.2m or 1% of the average depth
OLEX track surveys can achieve CATZOC C reconnaissance with potential improvement for charting
