Maritime Security West 2024 - San Diego, CA

Ping DSP had the incredible opportunity to do a demo at MARSEC West alongside Norbit Subsea on the WAM-V. This multi-sensor package got some great images of the bay around Paradise Point Resort, and demonstrated the benefits of having multiple sensors working together.

Ping DSP Visits Norbit Subsea

Paul and Kurtis visited Trondheim in Norway to introduce the 3DSS to the team at Norbit Subsea. 3DSS data was collected from the Nidelva River which provided our signature 3D view of the water column and the riverbed. We look forward to many more collaborations with Norbit in the coming years.

Ping DSP on the Cover of Sea Technology Magazine!

Ping DSP’s 3DSS data made it onto the cover of the June issue of Sea Technology magazine! The cover image features 3D-imagery data taken from our March 2023 virtual demo of Cascade Locks Marine Park. The 3D imagery clearly depicts the lock and other structures. Even small features, like staircases, are clearly recognizable in the data.

DIANA Demo Day - Seattle, WA.

NATO DIANA’s accelerator program through PNW MAC culminated in Demo Day: an opportunity for the innovation cohort companies to present their technology. The 3DSS was on display along with other amazing innovations from the cohort companies. We had the opportunity to give a short pitch, which we have been practicing throughout the program. This was followed by an opportunity for military and industry leaders to ask questions and explore the displays.

NATO DIANA Outreach Days - Washington, DC.

Ping DSP was fortunate to be able to attend NATO DIANA’s Outreach Days in Washington, DC. This event was a chance to put the 3DSS in front of military and commercial end users who would be otherwise out of reach. It was also a great chance to connect with many of the other innovators in the DIANA program. We attended a similar event in Amsterdam in the Netherlands in March of 2024, which was also very successful.

Alongside the 3DSS was our new collaboration with Seaber: a 3DSS module for their YUCO AUV. The new product is still in development, but we have hopes of announcing the launch later in 2024.

Seine River Demo - Paris, France.

With the help of NORBIT Sunsea, we had the opportunity to spend two days on the Seine River in Paris, France. We took several potential customers out to see the 3DSS in action and had a chance to do a complete survey of a portion of the river. Reach out to us if you’re interested in seeing the results!

Hypack 2024 - Savannah, Georgia.

Ping DSP was at Hypack 2024 right next to Norbit Subsea. This was the first time the two companies have exhibitioned together since Ping joined the Norbit family back in November. We were pleased to display a mockup of our new collaboration with Seaber: a YUCO USV with an integrated 3DSS. We are very excited to launch this new vehicle in the coming months!
