Underwater surveys with a range capability of up to 600m water depth
The NORBIT WINGHEAD i80S Long Range multibeam sonars are designed to deliver exceptional performance in extreme operational environments, typical of the demanding renewable energy segment, offering ultra-high resolution, high density bathymetric mapping and 3D/4D data for underwater surveys with a range capability of up to 600m water depth.
This case study highlights the key features of the NORBIT WINGHEAD i80S Long Range multibeam sonar mapping system.
WINGHEAD i80S Long Range Multibeam sonar
The results demonstrate the sonar’s versatile capabilities, delivering high-resolution data with wide swath coverage in a range of underwater environments.
The NORBIT WINGHEAD i80S and i80S Long Range multibeam sonars
are designed to deliver exceptional performance in extreme operational environments, offering ultra-high resolution bathymetric mapping and 3D/4D data for underwater surveys.
The WINGHEAD i80S Long Range offers a range capability of up to 600m.
Featuring a compact cylindrical curved-array design, these systems are optimised for rapid mobilisation anytime, anywhere, even in challenging conditions with significant vessel motion.
Both models are built on a state-of-the-art analogue and digital platform that integrates advanced signal processing capabilities and full motion stabilisation, including roll, pitch, and yaw, ensuring the highest quality bathymetry, imagery, and backscatter data. The i80S Long Range model extends the system’s operational depth up to 600 meters, making it ideal for deep-water surveys while maintaining its high-resolution output.
NORBIT’s extensive R&D expertise has led to the development of these cutting-edge multibeam sonar systems, designed from the ground up to offer new technology solutions for a wide range of applications, from small USVs to large vessel hull mounts, providing unparalleled data accuracy in the most demanding underwater environments.
