  Our GeoDAS software comes custom-configured for individual client needs, including GeoDAS-MB for multibeam sensors, GeoDAS-LT for serial devices such as fathometers, magnetometers and sidescan sensors, GeoDAS-GA for analog sidescan sensors, GeoDAS-GS for sensors with serial port connections, and GeoDAS-DT for playback, reprocessing and mosaicking. OIC is currently implementing new GeoDAS tools: AutoSonarTM, SmartGainsTM and SmartTargetingTM software options to automate survey data acquisition, execution and interpretation. CleanSweep provides a turnkey solution for post-processing sidescan and bathymetry data, producing publication-quality digital mosaics from raw sonar data.
