SBG Systems has appointed Swathe Services to be an authorized sales and support distributor for the marine hydrography market in the UK and Ireland. This includes all products within the Ellipse, Ekinox and Apogee product lines and includes the Split-Box with associated components.

SBG Systems offers a complete line of high performance and miniature Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), Motion Reference Unit (MRU), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) with embedded GNSS receiver (INS/GNSS).  Their inertial navigation systems allow accurate data georeferencing whether a SONAR or LiDAR is mounted on a manned survey vessel, an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), or an Autonomous Underwater Vessel (AUV).  These compact, low power, and cost-effective sensors enable DVL or Dual Antenna GPS fusion with inertial data.

James Williams, Managing Director of Swathe Services said  "SBG Systems complements our existing product line of sonars and sound velocity sensors and this will now allow us to offer a robust solution to a wide variety of hydrographic applications."
