Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the WASSP Multibeam Sounder technology, emphasizing its capability for real-time 3D seafloor mapping with high accuracy and cost efficiency. It is versatile and suitable for applications such as fishing, surveying, and mapping.

Specifications
The WASSP system features the DRX digital transceiver, available in DRX-32 and DRX-46 models, compatible with transducers WMB-160 and WMB-80 for different depth ranges, supporting depths from 1m to 1000m.

Features
The system offers real-time 3D bathymetric mapping, 2D mapping with depth shading, and high-resolution CHIRP sounder capabilities. It provides wide coverage with high-definition detail and interfaces with leading software.

Applications
WASSP is applicable in commercial and recreational fishing, hydrographic surveying, and professional workboats, beneficial for inshore, coastal, and offshore fishing with features like backscatter for bottom type detection.

Benefits
The WASSP F-Series enhances fishing operations by enabling faster mapping of fish schools, fuel savings, and efficient exploration of new fishing grounds, increasing catch rates and reducing sea time.

Integration and Support
The system integrates with various navigational and hydrographic software suites and is supported in over 30 countries, indicating its reliability and widespread adoption.

Conclusion
WASSP Multibeam Sounder technology advances seafloor mapping and fishing operations, offering accuracy, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, enhancing efficiency and productivity in maritime sectors.

Overview of WASSP Multibeam Technology
WASSP technology provides advanced underwater mapping, supporting data output in XYZ, GSF, or direct survey software integration, with optional licenses for enhanced detail.

Dredging and Surveying Applications
WASSP enables real-time dredging visualization and surveying, aiding in locating dropped tools and mapping inland ponds and coastal estuaries.

Real-Time Remote Mapping
The W-Series supports vessels like superyachts, offering real-time bathymetric data for safer navigation and anchorage in poorly charted regions.

Remote Mapping Applications
WASSP W3 is used in defense and exploration for quick mapping post-natural disasters, ensuring safe navigation in unmapped areas.

Deployment and Wireless Mapping
WASSP offers flexible deployment, including a carbon fiber mast for temporary installations, and wireless mapping for quick bathymetric map generation.

Technical Specifications
The W3 features a low power DRX-32 processor with a 400m depth, while the FX3 has a higher power DRX-46 processor with a 600m depth, both offering detailed bathymetry and optional Backscatter.

Licensing Options
WASSP provides licenses for Backscatter, Water Column Target, Side Scan, and Advanced Key Pulse (AKP), supporting data export and integration with third-party software.

Research and Development
ENL, WASSP's parent company, invests in marine technology R&D, leading to cost-effective multibeam sounders, supported in over 30 countries.

HOW TO CATCH THE MOST PROFITABLE FISH IN LESS TIME USING LESS FUEL We all know, with fishing, habitat is where it’s at. Even if you’re fishing for mid-level schooling fish, the seafloor is the beginning of the food chain. With WASSP Multibeam, you’ll find fish and relevant habitat over a much wider area than traditional single-beam systems. Plus, detect where hard ground starts and finishes, so you can optimise your fishing operations. You’ll quickly find the WASSP F-Series is purpose-designed for all fishing operations and is ideal for: • Inshore, coastal and offshore fishing • Trawling • Purse...
