Underwater Acoustics

The ocean is a crucial issue for future generations, both in terms of knowledge and resources for humanity (energy and food).

Electromagnetic waves (radio, light, etc.) propagate poorly beneath the ocean surface. Therefore, it is necessary to use acoustic waves (sound and ultrasound) to carry out various underwater tasks, such as:

  • Mapping
  • Imaging
  • Positioning
  • Communicating

Piezoelectric transducer technology is the standard for emitting and receiving acoustic waves underwater. PYTHEAS Technology offers a very broad product portfolio to meet various needs for both civil and defense applications.

Our product range includes, for example:

  • Coherent low-frequency source for anti-submarine warfare, offshore energy or long-range underwater communication​
  • Ultrawide bandwidth projectors for underwater communication and positioning​
  • High-frequency arrays for high-resolution sonar imaging
  • Custom SONAR payloads for underwater and surface drones

Our technologies cover surface and deep-sea applications (up to 6000 meters).

We support you from the specifications of your SONAR system to the production and characterization of the transducers and their associated electronics.
