The Maritime Journal is reporting that Airborne Hydrography AB (AHAB) of Jonkoping, Sweden, has launched what it claims to be the world’s first three channel Lidar (light detection and ranging) system – the Hawkeye III. It has dual bathymetric channels and a single topographic one.

The claim is that the system provides a full seafloor search with no limitation for shallow depths and is therefore capable of providing seamless datasets in transition zones from seabed to land. Sounds impressive.
