Force 3

Advanced Acquisition Electronics

The Force 3 Vibrator Control System is the newest generation of vibrator control system. It is designed to control individual vibes, or synchronize entire fleets of trucks. Using GPS, or VHF/UHF radio, for its time base the Force 3 both starts the Vibrator and controls its sweep with unparalleled precision and accuracy.
The Force 3 is equipped with the latest ADC chips for better sweep resolution, increased computing power for faster response, GPS for precise source location, 8 Gbytes of internal memory for integrated VSS and PSS data storage, and integrated Wi-Fi for easy data offloading.

Advanced Acquisition Techniques

The Force 3 supports all acquisition modes and can switch seamlessly between them. Crews can change between techniques as the environment and situation requires, increasing their acquisition production.
The Force 3 controller's superior electronics generate better sweeps in worse conditions and tougher terrain. This helps ensure better data wherever the crew is operating.
The Force 3 operates either integrated or autonomously. Use integrated mode for multiple fleets of multiple units, or autonomous mode for vibrators in rough or remote terrain.
The Force 3 supports simultaneous control of multiple source types. Crews can record multiple Vibrator fleets, dynamite shooters, AWD weigh drops, and even air gun equipped boats from a central platform.
