Problem
Maritime operators and research teams often rely on large, fixed‑install sonar suites that are costly to deploy, difficult to transport, and require extensive integration effort, limiting rapid seabed surveying, search‑and‑recovery, and hands‑on training activities.
Solution
Mariteq Solutions delivers end‑to‑end marine electronics engineering, focusing on the Portable Underwater Mapping Aid (PUWMA) – a compact side‑scan sonar system that can be mounted on any vessel or autonomous surface platform. The PUWMA provides high‑resolution seabed imagery and real‑time target detection while maintaining full NMEA 2000 and IEC 61162 compatibility for seamless integration with existing bridge and navigation networks. A complementary software suite aggregates sonar returns, GPS/INS positioning, and AIS/CCTV feeds, offering configurable data streams over Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, or LTE with automatic failover. Mariteq also offers on‑site installation, system calibration, ongoing maintenance, and accredited training programs to ensure operators extract maximum value from the hardware. Together, these capabilities enable fast, cost‑effective mapping, precise object localization, and repeatable training scenarios without the overhead of traditional, ship‑bound sonar installations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial offshore operators, hydrographic survey firms, maritime research institutes, and SAR or port‑security agencies that require rapid, high‑resolution seabed mapping and object detection capabilities.
Features
