Designed as a safe and practical solution for marine seismic survey, GeoPulse LF 101 operates up to a maximum of 1,000 V DC, substantially lower than traditional boomer systems that can run at up to 4,000 V. This lower voltage architecture supports improved handling safety and simplifies vessel integration, particularly on smaller platforms. A compact, portable energy source and lightweight cable reduce mobilization demands, enabling efficient deployment for diverse applications, including subsea construction, in addition to wind farm, cable route, and infrastructure surveys.
The launch expands GeoAcoustics’ existing sub-bottom profiler range, complementing the GeoPulse 2 and GeoPulse Compact systems by introducing lower-frequency capability for deeper penetration in more challenging ground conditions. Together, the portfolio provides surveyors with a coherent toolkit spanning high-resolution shallow work through to deeper geophysical investigation. The company also draws on extensive experience in deep-water systems as the OEM for Kongsberg Maritime’s TOPAS sub-bottom profilers, bringing proven signal integrity and engineering discipline into this new boomer platform.

Richard Dowdeswell, CCO at GeoAcoustics, said: “GeoPulse LF 101 reflects a very deliberate approach to product development. We have taken established boomer principles and re-engineered them around safety, practicality, and data quality. By lowering the operating voltage and simplifying deployment, we are giving survey teams a system that is easier to mobilize and safer to operate, without compromising performance. It is a natural addition to our sub-bottom range and an important step in broadening our geophysical capability.”
Visitors to stand P400 can see GeoPulse LF 101 alongside the company’s full hydroacoustic technology portfolio, including a new multibeam echosounder and side scan sonars, as the company continues to expand its offering for marine, offshore energy, and geotechnical applications.
