Reson extends multibeam range
01 May 2008
Reson has extended its SeaBat series of multibeam sounders with the introduction of a small, lightweight model for mounting on underwater vehicles or boats of opportunity, the SeaBat 7101.
The SeaBat 7101 is a small, lightweight multibeam sounder.
The Danish company says it is ideal for applications such as subsea intervention and monitoring, guidance and navigation, site and route surveys, and rig re-entries.
Operating at 240 kHz, the system measures discrete depths down to 500m over a swathe width of 150°. Dense sounding coverage is realised via a combination of 240 equidistant beams and a range dependent ping rate of up to 40 kHz.
Available from this summer onwards, SeaBat 7101 can be acquired as a complete multibeam system or as an upgrade to existing 8101 models first introduced 12 years ago.
