HydrOffice represents an open-source collaborative effort led by the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping to develop a research software environment with applications to facilitate all phases of the ping-to-chart process: facilitate data acquisition, automate and enhance data processing, and improve hydrographic products.

The environment, by minimizing the efforts to kick-start and by easing the configuration management, facilitates the creation of new tools for researcher, students and in the field; and, potentially, it eases the industrialization of some of these tools. The overall goal is thus to speed up both algorithms testing and Research-to-Operation (R2O) .

The Sea Mapper's Acoustic Ray Tracing Monitor and Planning (SmartMap) project aims to provide tools to evaluate the impact of oceanographic temporal and spatial variability on hydrographic surveys.
