Advanced Hydrographic Surveying and Dredging System
Advanced Hydrographic Surveying and Dredging System
The Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) and Coastal Oceanographics, Inc, initiated a 2-year CPAR Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CPAR-CRDA) in March 1994. Coastal Oceanographics' hydrographic surveying software, HYPACK, was becoming the predominant system used aboard Corps and contractor survey vessels. The software also is used by various other Federal, state and local agencies, as well as commercial firms. Much of the software capability and functionality was driven by Corps requirements, so Coastal Oceanographics had a keen interest in application of technology developed or promoted in the Corps. TEC had significant activities in GPS development, tide datum and water level modeling techniques, and dredge volume algorithms and computation procedures. Use of these technologies would produce the first hydrographic survey system with such capabilities.
