Force X

Overview

Force X is the next generation vibroseis control platform from Seismic Source. It combines vibrator control, positioning, fleet management, signal analysis, monitoring, communications, and field software into a single integrated seismic source platform.

Designed for modern high-production seismic acquisition, Force X provides intelligent sweep control, precision positioning, advanced connectivity, real-time QC, and centralized fleet visibility. The platform supports traditional radio systems, IP communications, Wi-Fi, cellular connectivity, and integrated GNSS positioning technologies.

Force X integrates with a complete software ecosystem including NavLink navigation, SrcSig signal analysis, ViDisplay QC monitoring, VibTest diagnostics, Secure Connect cloud services, and GPS Tracker fleet visibility tools.

The rugged aluminum hardware platform is designed for harsh seismic field conditions and supports real-time vibrator control, automatic QC monitoring, secure remote access, and integrated communication with vehicle and acquisition systems.
