Innomar Compact-USV Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler

Innomar Compact-USV model is intended to be used on uncrewed surface vehicles (USV / ASV). This model is suitable for small boats and vehicles, both inshore and nearshore. The high ping rate, a small footprint and the possibility of transmitting sound pulses over a wide frequency range ensure sub-bottom data with excellent resolution and very good sediment penetration. Innomar Compact-USV model can be integrated into USV and ASV of all scales, offering both remotely controlled and autonomous operation capabilities.

 A user-friendly Windows data acquisition and system control software (SESWIN) is used for remote (Ethernet) operation. It acquires full-waveform data that can be processed with any seismic software (SEG-Y format). Innomar also provides the ISE post-processing software specialized on the Innomar SBP data.
