NORBIT FLS
Key Features & Technical Advantages
Built for Ocean Science and Exploration
The NORBIT FLS product line includes multiple models, each tailored to specific operational needs:
- NORBIT FLS Wide: Optimized for broad coverage and long-range detection, the FLS Wide delivers expansive imaging with precise detail, making it ideal for large-area seabed surveys and real-time situational awareness.
- NORBIT FLS Compact: Designed for applications requiring a smaller form factor without compromising performance, the FLS Compact provides exceptional image quality in shallow waters and confined spaces.
- WINGHEAD F11 & F11 Deep Sea (DS): Representing the pinnacle of multibeam technology, the WINGHEAD F11 series features ultra-high-resolution imaging and deep-sea capability, with the DS model extending operational range for exploration in depths exceeding 2,000 meters.
The NORBIT FLS sonars integrate advanced wideband technology with innovative acoustic processing to deliver superior imaging and mapping results. Notable features include:
- Wideband Multibeam Echo Sounder: Operates across multiple frequencies, ensuring optimal performance in varying water conditions while maximizing target detection and bottom coverage.
- High-Resolution Imaging: Real-time visualization with crisp detail for precise object identification, structural inspection, and environmental monitoring.
- Compact, Lightweight Design: Portable configurations for easy deployment on small vessels, ROVs, and AUVs, enhancing mission flexibility.
- Advanced Motion Compensation: Integrated inertial navigation systems (INS) and real-time attitude correction ensure accurate data capture, even in challenging sea states.
- Deep-Sea Capability: The WINGHEAD F11 DS extends operational depths beyond 2,000 meters, supporting deep-ocean research and subsea asset inspection.
The NORBIT FLS series excels in oceanographic research, marine habitat mapping, infrastructure inspection, and autonomous vehicle integration. Whether deployed on survey vessels, unmanned platforms, or underwater vehicles, these sonars provide reliable performance for the most challenging marine environments.
