The ocean is changing faster than conventional survey vessels can map it.

SonaFoil transforms seafloor surveying from a slow expedition into rapid, repeatable ocean intelligence.

4-5 Times Faster

Up to 80% Shorter Survey Timelines

Capture ultra-high-resolution multi-beam hydrographic data at 20 knots. SonaFoil delivers survey-grade bathymetry with drastically fewer vessel days, lower operational emissions, and accelerated data turnaround.

SUPPORTING CRITICAL OCEAN & INFRASTRUCTURE MISSIONS

Shallow-water environments are the most dynamic, high-traffic zones on the planet, yet traditional surveying here is painfully slow.

SonaFoil scales up your data production rate, ensuring ports, engineering firms, and defense commands get high-fidelity seafloor insights in days rather than weeks.

  • NAVIGATION & DREDGING

    Accelerated channel charting, precision dredging volume validation, and rapid post-storm safety response for NOAA, USACE, and Port Authorities.

  • DEFENSE & NATO SECURITY

    High-speed seabed characterization, tactical object detection, change monitoring, and port/harbor domain awareness missions.

  • CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE

    Rapid route surveys for subsea cables and pipelines, bridge/marine construction as-built validation, and structural scour monitoring.

Why SonaFoil?

Air Air

HIGH-PRODUCTION SPEED

Map vast shallow-water corridors up to 5x faster than conventional 6-knot vessels, allowing you to meet aggressive project deadlines.

DATA AS A SERVICE (DaaS)

Zero asset maintenance overhead for your team. We handle the mobilization and logistics, delivering clean bathymetry, backscatter, and QC packs.

ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP

Spearheaded by David Nielsen, P.E., bringing rigorous Professional Engineer standards, USCG Master Mariner safety protocol, and trusted survey-vessel fleet operations to your project.

REDUCED CREW EXPOSURE

Minimize health, safety, and environmental (HSE) liabilities. Slashing vessel days by 50% to 80% drastically cuts down human offshore risk.

TRADITIONAL SURVEY METHODS ARE BOTTLENECKED.

Shallow-water seabed data is currently slow to update, highly expensive to collect, and often outdated by the time critical maritime decisions are made.

  • SURVEY-GRADE DATA:

    Full bathymetry surface and backscatter bottom characterizations at production speeds.

  • MISSION REPEATABILITY:

    Fast-pass capability enables cost-effective temporal change detection over critical corridors.

  • OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY:

    Drastically shrinks total ship time needed per square kilometer mapped.

Advanced. Integrated. Turnkey.

  • Turnkey Operational Delivery: We manage the entire operational lifecycle—including vessel mobilization, sensor integration, and data QA, minimizing the administrative and logistical burden on your internal team.
  • Seamless Software Integration: Exporting clean, industry-standard hydrographic formats fully compatible with all major GIS, engineering, and defense processing suites.
  • Pricus Marine Operational Pedigree: Backed by a verified history of safe, real-world marine logistics and professional project delivery.
