Vessel: R/V Kilo Moana
Multibeam System: EM122
Dates: 2012
KILO MOANA’s acoustic signature was higher than previous acoustical data due to electronic noise interference. The levels in the EM 122 sonar operational frequency of 12 kHz were also higher than historic data. A significant problem was noted with numerous elements of the EM 122 sonar array that is believed to be associated with electronic background noise. Electronic noise was determined to be the major deficiency during this acoustic trial.
