Norbit Subsea introduces the WBMS X, the latest addition to its multibeam sonar family, an ultra-compact system designed with flexibility in mind.



WBMS X can be customized to fit any operational environment. WBMS X standard bundles come with integrated Applanix or SBG GNSS/INS, but you may choose a non-integrated version for applications such as ROV.

Need extra beams for data density?  Upgrade to 1024 True Beams.  Need even more data density? Add Dual Swath.  Need active stabilization for dynamic conditions?  Add Pitch and Yaw Stabilization.  

Key attributes of the new system include:

  • Ultra-compact, high-resolution design
  • Curved array receiver for enhanced performance
  • Optional tightly integrated GNSS/INS
  • Active roll, pitch, and yaw stabilization for high vessel motion environments
  • Dual Swath for efficient data collection
  • Easy and quick mobilization, regardless of location.



 




Subsea Vehicle technology is front and center in MTR, with a focus on increased levels of autonomy, reliability and flexibility.
