Gettysburg – An Archeological Investigation
https://vimeo.com/491238465 Aqua Survey performed an Electromagnetic survey on private land near Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania. Fought on July 1-3, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was a decisive Union victory in the Civil War and the bloodiest battle ever fought in North America. The area surveyed is believed to have been a Confederate field hospital during the conflict. Watch as Aqua Survey’s land-based EM survey equipment leads to some archaeological finds.

BLU-26 Detonation
https://vimeo.com/365124970 During the Vietnam War, Laos became the most heavily bombed country per capita in the world. To this day there are millions of cluster-bomb sub-munitions littered across its landscape. Each sub-munition, such as the BLU-26 “bombie” used in Laos, is capable of penetrating soil or sediment before detonating—yet a significant percentage fail to explode on impact, becoming unexploded ordnance (UXO) hazards. Villagers—often farmers and children—continue to be injured or killed by unsuspected bomblets. Contaminated land reduces arable acreage, forcing … Continue reading “BLU-26 Detonation”
The Jason School Opening
https://vimeo.com/284735241 Aqua Survey President Ken Hayes and other patrons celebrate the opening of the new Vieng Xay school in Laos. The site for the new school was surveyed and cleared of metal objects with Aqua Survey’s EM metal detection capabilities.

Airborne Mag Survey
https://vimeo.com/87183064 When time is of the essence and traditional vessel-towed surveys slow you down, Aqua Survey’s airborne magnetometer glider shifts the paradigm. By cruising just 15 feet above the water at 50–60 mph, it swept nearly 70 square miles in only 20 days—what would have taken years on the water was completed in a fraction of the time. Equipped with a high-sensitivity potassium-vapor magnet gradiometer, the glider maps ferrous anomalies with pinpoint accuracy. From unexploded ordnance and shipwrecks to buried … Continue reading “Airborne Mag Survey”
Ultra Marine Magnetometer Array
https://vimeo.com/221489389 Aqua Survey deploys the Ultra Marine Magnetometer Array (UMMA) when clients need to locate metal objects in ecologically sensitive environments or cover large areas rapidly. Piloted by our team of scientists at a carefully controlled altitude above the seafloor, UMMA sweeps former military bombing ranges, harbors, and submerged archaeological sites with unmatched speed and sensitivity. The result is a detailed map of ferrous targets—delivered quickly, accurately, and with zero impact on flora and fauna. Watch “Ultra Marine Magnetometer Array”
Our Rossfelder/Cousteau Connection
https://vimeo.com/207534147 “Andre Rossfelder was a fascinating man. When I watch our field techs using one of Andre Rossfelder’s vibracore units, I think about some of the James Bond-like stories Andre told me about his youth, including his attempts to assassinate Charles De Gaulle. Whenever we deploy our inflatable Rossfelder barge, it’s amazing to think that Jacque Cousteau’s son Phillipe used to go bombing around the South Pacific with it tucked away in Cousteau’s seaplane, the Flying Calypso.” — Ken Hayes … Continue reading “Our Rossfelder/Cousteau Connection”
UXO Survivor to Break-Dance Advocate
https://vimeo.com/234551097 Sometimes you meet incredible people. Pong, Pongsavath or Peter Kim as he sometimes likes to be called is one. Losing both hands and his eyesight to a Vietnam War Era cluster bomb when he was 16, Pong has persevered where many would have given up. Children in Laos continue to be injured or killed by unsuspected, decades old bomblets that litter their soil, schoolyards, and playgrounds. Survivors like Pongsavath often lose limbs and sight, a human toll that echoes … Continue reading “UXO Survivor to Break-Dance Advocate”
