Shallow survey efficiency & quality for commercial, scientific & military needs
The Underwater (UW) version of Bathyswath has the system electronics inside a pressure-tight sub-sea unit bottle. This is useful for mounting on the end of a pole fixed to a survey vessel, or on sub-sea vehicles. Bathyswath provides wide swath widths; this increases survey speeds significantly, especially in shallow water. It has 2 frequencies : 234 or 468 kHz, to be used respectively up to 200 & 80m of water depth.
Bathyswath 2 is the standard version of our bathymetric systems, in use since 2015. It gives excellent performance and reliability in a small, low-power package. It can be used at any frequency from 100 to 500 kHz.
Bathyswath-2-UW system is our underwater and integrated version, it consists of :
- Sonar electronics for 1 or 2 transducers
- A communication and power board
- An optional INS or MRU (Ekinox A or E)
- An optional Sound Velocity Sensor (miniSVS)
- One or two transducers (234 or 468 kHz)
To complete the bathymetric "package", you will also need the following ancillary devices :
The Bathyswath-2 UW 468kHz package is used at the end of a pole or on underwater vehicles. The bottle contains Transducer Electronics Module, power supply, cooling fan & Ethernet switch &
optionally Ekinox INS/IMU & miniSVS sound velocity sensor. The transducers are fixed to each side.
Bathyswath-2 UW is part of the company ITER Systems : the world's most experienced team of developers of interferometric sonars. Its products are direct descendants of the world’s first commercially available interferometric swath sonar system, developed into SWATHplus, which renamed Bathyswath in 2013. Bathyswath 2 is a completely new design, with improved performance and usability.
