WBMS
Introducing the all-new,
extremely compact and highresolution multibeam sonar from NORBIT.
The WBMS-series are ultra compact sonars designed specifically for use
on even very small platforms. With low power consumption, the system
may be operated for a full day on a single battery. NORBIT’s wideband
multibeam technology allows long range real-time data collection, whilst
simultaneously achieving very- high range resolution.
The WBMS-series are based on a flexible sonar platform that utilizes the
latest in analog and digital signal processing. Combined with broad R&D
expertise, NORBIT may adapt the hardware technology to allow for new
applications that benefit from the advantages offered by a compact
wideband multibeam sonar.
