Description
The WBMS-series are ultra compact sonars designed specifically for use on all platforms. With low power consumption, the system may be operated for a full day on a single battery. NORBIT’s wideband multibeam technology allows long range real-time data collection, whilst simultaneously achieving high range resolution.
