WINGHEAD Dual Head i77h and B41

Superior Performance Ultra High-Resolution Dual Head Bathymetric System

NORBIT introduces the first cylindrical ultra-high resolution curved array Dual Head bathymetric system, designed for rapid anywhere anytime mobilisation featuring the highest standard industry leading integrated GNSS/INS positioning system.

Description

NORBIT WINGHEAD sonars are based on a state of the art analogue and digital platform featuring powerful signal processing capabilities, offering roll stabilized bathymetry and several imagery and backscatter outputs ensuring the highest quality survey data performance. With broad R&D expertise, NORBIT has developed - from the ground-up - exciting new technology that allows existing and new applications to benefit from the advantages offered by a compact wideband curved-array multibeam sonar.

The NORBIT WINGHEAD Dual Head configuration i77h and B41 is a compact ultra-high resolution curved array broadband multibeam sonar offering tight integration with GNSS/INS (Applanix OceanMaster) that is designed for use in the most demanding rough sea conditions and in operational environments with poor GNSS coverage, such as around offshore platforms. Characterised further by a small form factor; low power draw and tight integration, WINGHEAD Dual Head uniquely facilities both wide coverage and increased sounding density from a single user interface.
