NORBIT WBMS multibeam echo sounders are built around an ultra-compact, curved-array design, providing exceptional seabed mapping while maintaining low power consumption, making them highly efficient for battery-powered or autonomous survey missions.
Key Features:
- Ultra-Compact & High-Resolution Bathymetry: The WBMS series features a curved-array wideband multibeam sonar, delivering precise 3D bathymetric mapping with exceptional detail, even in challenging conditions.
- All-in-One Integrated System: Models can include an embedded Applanix WaveMaster II GNSS/INS for highly accurate georeferencing, along with an integrated sound velocity probe for precise water column corrections.
- Advanced Signal Processing & Stabilization: Systems may utilizes FM & CW processing, roll-stabilization, and multidetect capabilities to enhance seabed mapping clarity, reducing noise and increasing data reliability.
- Versatile Deployment & Power Efficiency: The WBMS series is designed for USVs, AUVs, ROVs, and manned vessels, with low power consumption enabling battery-powered operation in remote survey missions.
- Comprehensive Data Acquisition & Output Options: Products can support backscatter intensity, sidescan, snippets, water column imaging, and real-time data processing with compatibility for industry-standard hydrographic software (HYPACK, Qinsy, EIVA, CARIS).
