Marine Magnetics Synapse Magnetometer

Availability:

The Synapse magnetometer is an operationally flexible sensor that can be used independently or as part of a gradiometer array to obtain high quality data at up to 20Hz. The sensor consists of a  Rubidium optically-pumped physics package  that provides a resolution of 10 pT/rt-Hz. The Synapse can be integrated into an array of up to 30 nodes with automatic timing synchronisation. The are extremely lightweight at 3.5kg in air, with a low power consumption of 4.5W per sensor.

The Synapse can be hosted by sidescan sonars such as the Edgetech 4205, the 2050 DSS and due to its light weight and low power consumption we can also now integrate with the small lightweight 4125i.
