The Survey program reads input from GPS (NMEA via RS-232 or network) and side scan sonars (USB and network). With an Internet connection, users can download the latest Electronic Navigation Charts from NOAA and the USACE, free of charge. HYPACK ® Marine Search allows for real-time mosaicking and targeting of side scan data from almost all side scan sonars. HYPACK® hydrographic surveying software HYSWEEP® Multibeam data collection and editing software DREDGEPACK® Real Time Dredge Monitoring Software.HYPACK, the US-based industry leader in hydrographic survey software, is now offering a package dedicated to marine search and recovery operations. Even while others believed Windows® would not allow for accurate time-t In 1992, CoastalO was among the first to create a Windows®-based hydrographic survey package. The improving price and efficiency of personal computers quickly made them preferential to the older survey systems, and interface cards permitted surveyors to use a wide variety of equipment. The key to his firm's success was the original decision to support the PC platform as the data collection and processing platform. The fledgling business has now grown from a one-person operation to over 20 employees that sells two to three HYPACK® packages every business day. The next year, sales rose to 14 packages. Conference attendees only showed minor interest in the product.
Unfortunately, Coastal Oceanographics's (CoastalO) booth was located directly across from industry leader Comstar. HYPACK®'s debut came at the Oceans 87 IEEE/OES and Marine Technology Society conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Thus, HYPACK® (Hydrographic Package) was offered for sale to the surveying world. At the time, most hydrographic survey systems required expensive hardware, so Sanders decided to assemble his own group of programs and offer it for sale. By 1987, he and a few colleagues had developed an entire suite of software. His first ‘portable’ computer was a 40 pound, Columbia Data Systems machine with 640 kilobytes of RAM, a 10 megabyte hard drive, and a yellow monochrome monitor.
The purpose of the company was to provide hydrographic consulting for companies with large hydrographic survey contracts.Īs a part of his consulting practice, Sanders wrote Fortran-based programs to manually enter raw hydrographic data to produce smooth sheets. Naval Oceanographic Office as a field hydrographer and completing a graduate business degree, Pat Sanders founded “Coastal Oceanographics”. HYPACK Inc is a leading developer of hydrographic and dredging software in the industry.
