Seismic Air-Gun Controllers/Synchronizers

Real Time Systems was founded in 1988 by Allen Nance to provide custom micro-processor based instrumentation to the global seismic data acquisition community.

RTS has historically served exploration and seismic research needs of the oil & gas  industries.

From that focus, RTS developed a standard product line of seismic source synchronizing equipment, tailor made for synchronizing small to large (2-128) air gun arrays.

RTS equipment is used globally for:

  • deep marine seismic projects, including high resolution, 2D, and 3D surveys
  • marine research
  • ocean bottom cable
  • transition zone
  • vertical seismic profile projects
Large Arrays The Real Time Systems' BigShot system, designed to manage large array seismic source synchronization, is utilized on numerous gunboat and streamer vessels around the globe. In fact, over 65 BigShot systems have been delivered to our customers in the last ten years.
