In 1974, the Hydrographic Development Group, Central Region, undertook the design and implementation of a second-generation hydrographic data acquisition and processing system. This system, INDAPS, which has been employed in two production surveys during 1974 and 1975, features computer-controlled acquisition, filtering and recording of data, on-line navigation and error detection, and high-speed processing using FORTRAN as a programming language. This paper outlines the philosophy behind the system, its evolution and current development, and its field implementation.
