NORBIT informs it has secured orders from Jan De Nul Group, through its Benelux dealer Seabed BV, for several tightly integrated all-in-one turnkey multibeam sonar systems.
These compact survey systems allow for fast set-to-work on any sized survey platform while allowing for highest quality broadband FM data from a forgiving curved receiver array. The systems each include a full Inertial Navigation Systems and surface sound speed probe and only one cable from wet-end to the small splash-proof topside.
Norbit will conduct demonstrations aboard the AHOY Freedom during OI-2016 in London Mar 15-17, where the iWBMS will be showcased along with several optional ‘plug-ins’ such as sound-ahead obstacle avoidance, 360degree LiDAR and a top-tier 0.01O GNSS-INS system.
Norbit will utilize the all new V10.0 sonar firmware/software package which now supports real-time roll compensation over wide swath, industry highest resolution sidescan-snippets (takes full benefit of the cylindrical array, 80kHz bandwidth), flexible water column display and output and enhancements to the intuitive user interface.
