Industry-trusted technology
AWACs have been trusted as the simple, reliable and capable option for current and wave measurements for decades.
Acoustic Surface Tracking (AST)
AWACs take a direct measurement of the sea-air interface with a vertical beam for highly accurate, long-range wave masurements.
Onboard wave processing
Onboard processing of wave measurements means directional wave data can be sent directly to the end user without requiring additional processing.
