SeeByte’s distributor New Zealand Ocean Technology Garner Acclaim From
New Zealand Ministry of Defence

SeeByte has announced that New Zealand Ocean Technology has been honoured by the New Zealand Ministry of Defence with the Award of Excellence to Industry 2009. Nominated by the Royal New Zealand Navy, New Zealand Ocean Technology’s award acknowledged the provision of professional services, remote helpdesk and onsite support for Mine Counter Measures equipment. SeeByte’s SeeTrack Military technology was utilised to provide a situational awareness solution to assist personnel conducting maritime Mine Counter Measures (MCM) build a single picture of the operational environment by processing data from a wide variety of assets.
“The achievement of this award reflects both the performance of our company and our suppliers and I wish to acknowledge the significant contribution that was made to our Mine Counter Measures project by the SeeByte team. The strength of their SeeTrack Military solution is its ability to provide the operator one single tactical environment to plan missions, track assets, post-process data, correlate and fuse contacts, re-plan, re-acquire and ID missions, and report results up the chain-of-command. SeeTrack allows the operators to fuse data from multiple systems and sensors, all in one laptop or desktop environment. This flexibility made SeeTrack a vital ingredient in our offering to the Royal New Zealand Navy as we were faced with integrating a towed EdgeTech sonar 4200 and REMUS 100 AUVs equipped with Marine Sonic Technologies’ side-scan sonars. SeeTrack provided a single interface for mission-planning and analysis of all the assets,” commented Ron Tyson of New Zealand Ocean Technology, Ltd.
“We are very pleased that the successful partnership forged between SeeByte and New Zealand Ocean Technology has reaped the rewards and commendation from the Royal New Zealand Navy and the Ministry of Defence. We are proud of this project and honoured to be a part of this award. Integrating our software systems to assist nearly every navy across the globe, including the U.S. and Royal Netherlands navies, is an integral part of our growth and we like to encourage distributors to approach us with collaborative projects such as these,” said Dr. Ioseba Tena, SeeByte Sales Manager.

SeeTrack Military has become the de facto standard smart technology for the worldwide defence market. Showcased in a multitude of military situations, this product is currently used by Navy teams to identify man-made underwater objects, search and recovery missions and to enhance the capabilities of their remote vehicles, marine mammals and divers. As a result, our customers are saving time, money and valuable man-hours while reducing unnecessary risk for the human operators who eventually have to interface with the underwater objects.
