Title:
Satellite-Derived Bathymetry and Shoal Detection for Safer Navigation
Agreement Value:
$292,875.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 21, 2021 - Nov 30, 2024
Description:
With this project, the company will turn its prototype satellite-derived bathymetry into an operational product. Hydrographic survey companies can use maps of water depth to plan their surveys and avoid grounding their vessels in shallow water, engineering firms can use them to plan building of parts and shoreline protection, and shipping companies can use them in addition to official charts to safely navigate poorly charted waters of the Canadian Arctic. The need for information on water depth is growing as sea ice melts and an increasing number of vessels visit and cross Arctic waters each summer and fall.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research
and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
