Knudsen Engineering Limited

Knudsen Engineering Limited designs and manufactures single beam echosounders and related sonar instrumentation for marine and defense uses. Its product scope runs broad, covering shallow water survey, full ocean depth work, fleet navigation, and sub-bottom profiling. The systems built around those capabilities serve hydrographic survey, dredging, seabed mapping, ocean floor exploration, sediment research, target detection, and undersea object detection. That equipment suits scientific and operational users alike, among them surveyors, research users, marine operators, and naval customers. The company builds for extreme environments, including weather-exposed conditions and arctic or deep-water operations, and its systems work in many countries. Several product families make up the business, each aimed at a different depth range and a different kind of user, from a near-shore survey crew through to a naval fleet. The Sounder Series covers shallow survey and near-shore hydrographic work, with rack, portable, mini, and ROV-oriented configurations. The Chirp Series targets higher-resolution work across a wider depth range, taking in deep water survey, geophysical exploration, water column analysis, and sub-bottom profiling, and it comes as rack, portable, and 3260 systems. The Pinger sub-bottom profiler works as a shallow-water geophysical exploration tool for sediment profiling and related research. The 320N serves as a navigation echo sounder and fathometer for fleet navigation, marine mapping, and military and naval use, including the replacement of older fleet fathometers. Supporting products cover signal simulation, displays, and transducers, with single frequency, dual frequency, and side-scan options among them, so a system can be configured around the survey it has to perform. The company supplies software for controlling, recording, viewing, and printing the data its echosounders produce, so a customer can take a system from acquisition through to a printed record. Knudsen works as a specialist in digitally controlled sonar systems built for survey, research, navigation, and defense applications, with a focus on configurable hardware, high-resolution data acquisition, and rugged deployment options.
