Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes an interferometric sonar system designed for acquiring high-resolution bathymetry and seafloor imagery over a wide swath. It meets international survey data standards, including IHO requirements, and is suitable for shallow water or low altitude operations.

Key Features
  • High spatial resolution up to the swath edge with a low cost of ownership compared to beam-forming multibeam systems.
  • Simultaneous pinging increases productivity and coverage, reducing survey and data processing time.
  • Data compatibility with industry-standard applications like CARIS and QINSy.
  • Lightweight, compact, and portable design with low power requirements (less than 25 W).

System Variants
  • Three frequency variants: SWATHplus-L, SWATHplus-M, and SWATHplus-H, available in standard or splash-proof configurations.
  • The 468 kHz system is deployable on ROV/AUV/ASV.
  • System components include two transducers, a Transducer Interface Unit, a universal mounting kit, and a laptop with data acquisition and processing software.

Technical Specifications
  • SWATHplus-L: 117 kHz, max depth 350 m, recommended working depth 300 m, across-track resolution 5 cm.
  • SWATHplus-M: 234 kHz, max depth 200 m, recommended working depth 100 m, across-track resolution 2 cm.
  • SWATHplus-H: 468 kHz, max depth 80 m, recommended working depth 50 m, across-track resolution 1 cm.

Applications
  • Research and education (habitat mapping).
  • Survey companies (navigable depth, route/site surveys, construction/dredging support, pipeline inspections).
  • Utility companies (cable and pipeline surveys/inspections).
  • Civil engineering (infrastructural surveys).

SWATHPLUS-2011-1

The interferometric sonar system of choice for acquiring co-registered, very wide swath, high-resolution bathymetry and seafloor imagery- SWAT Hp/us ■ Meets international survey data standards, such as IHO requirements. ■ Co-registered, high-quality bathymetry and seafloor imagery over a very wide swath width in shallow water USGS: "Operating swath of the bathymétrie system ranged from 15 to 20 times water depth in depths less than 15 m." ■ High data count gives high spatial resolution up to the swath edge. ■ Low cost of ownership compared with most beam-forming multibeam systems. Simultaneous pinging doubles productivity and along-track coverage over alternate pinging systems - reduced in-field survey and data turn-around efforts. ■ Data exportable to industry-standard applications, such as CARIS and QINSy. ■ Lightweight, compact, robust and highly portable facilitating simple and rapid deployment. ■ Does not require rack mounting; low power requirements - less than 25 W.
