Vessel ID: R/V Kilo MoanaMultibeam System: EM122/EM710Dates: May 22, 2022 R/V Kilo Moana conducted pre-season Quality Assurance Testing for the EM122 and EM710 multibeam mapping systems, following a series of POS MV troubleshooting steps and a dry dock maintenance period Pre- and post-shipyard noise testing indicated stable/acceptable noise levels and no damage in the shipyard A multibeam sensor geometry review and POS MV GAMS antenna calibration proceeded normally prior to geometric calibrations (‘patch tests’) at proven sites off Oahu (used previously by multiple vessels) Calibration adjustments were reasonably small and applied after data collection Swath coverage was assessed for the EM122 using transit data, indicating trends similar to previous years Swath artifacts were noted for each system, which may be addressed by software/firmware updates and some runtime setting adjustments; the MAC is available to review additional data to try to identify the root causes Following the 2022 QAT, the MAC

Cruise ID: KM2104B Multibeam System: EM122/EM710Dates: May 14-15, 2021 The University of Hawaii’s UNOLS vessel R/V Kilo Moana (KM) is equipped with Kongsberg Maritime EM122 and EM710 multibeam echosounders and an Applanix POS MV-320 v5 Ocean Master positioning / attitude system.The Multibeam Advisory Committee (MAC) was asked to assist with Quality Assurance Testing (QAT) of the ship’s multibeam echosounders ahead of the 2021 field season after factory service and re-installation of the IMU Attached Documents Report: Kilo_Moana_2021_EM122_EM710_QAT_report_v1p0Download Related Information Cruise Data at R2R

Cruise ID: KM1711 Multibeam System: EM122 Dates: July 24-26, 2017 During the late fall of 2016 and spring of 2017 the University of Hawaii’s Ocean Technology Group (OTG) submitted bathymetric data, screen shots (Figure 1), and built in self-test (BIST) data to the Multibeam Advisory Committee (MAC) and to Gates Acoustic documenting pervasive noise which was affecting the R/V Kilo Moana’s Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder system’s (MBES) ability to collect high-quality bathymetric data.

Cruise ID: KM1514 Multibeam System: EM122 Dates: August 9-13, 2015 The R/V Kilo Moana undertook an engineering shakedown leg (KM1514) in order to assess acoustic noise issues documented during the KM1505 Quality Assessment Visit (QAT) conducted by the Multibeam Advisory Committee (MAC) in April, 2015 and documented in that report (see R/V Kilo Moana, EM122 and EM710 Multibeam Echosounder System Review, KM1505 April 28 – 30, 2015).
