The WINGHEAD® series delivers ultra-high-resolution multibeam sonar in a compact package. With frequency agility between 200–700 kHz and up to 1024 true beams, the systems offer exceptional imaging for cable and pipeline surveys, offshore construction, and backscatter data collection. These systems are currently deployed on platforms from Saildrone, XOCEAN, and Maritime Robotics, offering full integration for both crewed and uncrewed surface vessels.
The NORBIT WBMS X features a configurable curved array that can be supplied with GNSS-INS solutions from Applanix or SBG Systems. It is optimized for high-resolution bathymetric data collection, with integrated motion stabilization to correct for roll, pitch, and yaw.
The NORBIT WBMS line includes compact, low-power multibeam sonar systems with tightly-integrated GNSS-INS technology. Systems like the iWBMS can be battery-powered, making them ideal for USVs and UUVs engaged in coastal, lake, harbor, and infrastructure surveys.
The NORBIT NORdredge solution provides real-time sonar data for rock dumping, dredging, and construction support. Designed for rapid mobilization, the system includes a broadband multibeam sonar and an intuitive software interface for remote operation and data access.
NORBIT’s FLS solutions support high-resolution acoustic imaging for search and recovery missions, obstacle avoidance, and underwater inspection. Compact and easy to install, these systems are suitable for AUVs, ROVs, and surface vessels.
