ADVANCING AFRICAN HYDROGRAPHY: ROBOTIC TOTAL STATIONS AND MULTIBEAM SONAR APPLICATIONS

Africa's extensive hydrographic resources remain largely untapped. Traditional techniques of data collection are often inefficient, hindering progress in sectors such as marineindustry, resource management, and coastal development. Robotic total stations and multibeam sonar offer transformative technologies to address these limitations. These cutti
