Innomar Light Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler

Innomar Light Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler

Innomar Light parametric sub-bottom profiler is designed for shallow-water applications inshore and near-shore at water depths down to 400 meters. Its compact size, lightweight structure, and simple deployment make it particularly suitable for small boats with limited space.  Innomar "light" is an ideal solution for scientific research, environmental studies, and engineering projects, offering high data quality, ease of use, and portability.

This model 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.
