1. Overview 2021

2. JASCO is a world leader in underwater acoustics. The science of underwater noise and its
effects on marine life. Our highly skilled acousticians, oceanographers, marine biologists,
engineers, and technologists provide scientific expertise and advanced acoustic
monitoring equipment for all aspects of acoustic impact assessments. We provide
worldwide services from office in North America, Europe, and Australia.
Leading edge technology:
 We design, develop, and manufacture state-of-the-art data acquisition systems to
meet project demands for quality, endurance, and performance. With intelligent design
and superior flexibility, out Autonomous Multichannel Acoustic Recorder (AMAR) provides
pristine data quality, advanced configuration options and extended deployment lifetimes
that are unrivaled in the industry.
Rapid Innovation:
 JASCO is a recognized leader in software and hardware development, rapid
prototyping, and systems integration for underwater monitoring. Our success is founded
on our unique ability to work quickly and cost-effectively, dramatically reducing the time-
to-launch for sophisticated information systems and technologies.
