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 i77h 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 operational environments such as under bridges or in rough sea conditions. Characterised further by a small form factor; low power draw and tight integration, WINGHEAD i77h installation can occur on surface survey platforms ranging from small USVs to large vessel permanent hull mounts.
Supported by DCT (NORBIT Integrated Data Acquisition Software) for efficient survey data acquisition.
