"essential" SBP
Compact parametric sub-bottom profiler for small boats and uncrewed vehicles (USV/ASV/AUV), with all transceiver electronics integrated in the transducer.
Description
The Innomar "essential" is a parametric sub-bottom profiler for small boats and uncrewed vehicles (USV / ASV / AUV), described as the smallest Innomar SBP with active beam stabilisation (±10° roll). All transceiver electronics are integrated in the transducer, with only a small SBP interface unit (c. 1 kg) topside and 24 V DC power.
