Cerulean SONAR is removing the cost barrier to professional underwater technology. Built around the Omniscan family of acoustic imaging sonars, the ROV Locator and Tracker 650 positioning systems, and the Surveyor 240 multibeam echosounder, Cerulean delivers imaging, positioning, and bathymetry capabilities that rival systems with exorbitant price tags.

Every product is paired with SonarView, a free, platform-agnostic web application that runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux, and can even be hosted onboard an ROV or USV for a seamless browser-based experience. Backed by partnerships with leading ROV manufacturers like Blue Robotics, Blueye, Chasing, JM Robotics, and QYSEA, Cerulean Sonar makes advanced acoustic technology accessible to a broader community for various missions such as mapping coastlines, inspecting subsea infrastructure, or exploring the ocean floor.  

Spirit Advisory, US partner of PaleBlue, presents PaleBlue's subsea simulation platform which covers the full spectrum of underwater operations, from pilot training to advanced robotics development. The ROV Trainer Simulator is the professional IMCA Class A pilot training and certification platform, letting you train the way you operate. Configure it for single-pilot, two-pilot, or full instructor-station operation and fly the vehicles you actually work with, from small-class systems like the BlueROV2, Chasing M2, and Deep Trekker to observation and work-class machines including the Saab Falcon, Hytec H2000, and Triton XLX. Deploy mission packs built for construction, energy, inspection, and search and rescue, while the instructor station puts every real-world condition in your hands, from visibility, current, and heave to equipment faults and alarms, so pilots build genuine subsea competency through repeatable, measurable simulation. Beyond training, the Unity-based digital twin platform supports AUV, ROV, and multi-robot development with full physics for arms, joints, cables, and thrusters; simulated sensors, motors, terrain, and CAD-accurate vehicle models; and thermal, signal, and energy modeling. It connects to ROS, PLC, and CAN bus, supports hardware-in-the-loop for autonomy work and robot AI training with segmentation and ground truth, and enables robot-human collaboration in VR.
