SAIC'S Integrated Hydrographic Survey System (IHSS) was used to conduct hydrographic surveys of Long Island Sound, New York, and Vineyard Sound, Massachusetts. As part of the IHSS, a Reson multibeam sonar was selected as the primary depth measurement tool; engineering tests of this instrument showed that the depth soundings met or exceeded International Hydrographic Organization standards. The IHSS combines state-of-the-art data collection and processing tools for analysis of multibeam and side-scan sonar data, providing innovative techniques to combine multibeam and side-scan data as well as to produce standard hydrographic products such as junction analyses and smooth sheets.
