Vaughan, Ontario, CANADA – February 3, 2022 – Teledyne Geospatial announced the sale of its next generation bathymetric lidar CZMIL SuperNova to leading professional services firm Dewberry. Dewberry is the first private North American company to purchase the CZMIL SuperNova, adding this unique capability in support of state and federal coastal zone mapping programs, surveying of wetlands, lacustrine and riverine systems, submerged habitat detection and offshore mapping for renewable energy governance.
The CZMIL SuperNova’s ability to deliver Quality Level 1 (QL1) data from altitudes greater than 1,200 feet and its Secchi depth penetration range (down to 70 meters in optimal conditions) will allow Dewberry to deliver the quality data required for their projects. Leveraging advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) techniques for automated land/water discrimination and noise classification, the CZMIL SuperNova bathymetric solution also sets a new standard in processing workflow efficiency through automation in the CARIS software suite without compromising quality.

This investment in the CZMIL SuperNova and collaboration with Teledyne Geospatial solidifies Dewberry’s commitment to client excellence through the acquisition and delivery of the highest quality topo-bathy capability available in the market.
