Geoswath Plus Compact12/05/2010 |
| GeoAcoustics recently released the GeoSwath Plus Compact for wide-swath bathymetry. This new shallow-water multibeam and side scan system is based on the most successful phase measuring bathymetric sonar in the market, the Geoswath Plus. |

![]() GeoSwath Plus Compact offers efficient simultaneous swath bathymetry and sidescan seabed mapping with accuracies that have been shown to exceed the SP-44 ed.5 Special Order IHO standards for hydrographic surveys. Available in three frequency versions, 125, 250 and 500kHz, the system has depth performance of 200, 100 and 50m respectively. The applied phase measuring bathymetric sonar technology provides data coverage of up to twelve times the water depth, giving unsurpassed survey efficiency in shallow water environments for hydrographic mapping, dredging, environmental and inspection surveys, as well as military applications like rapid environmental assessments and mine counter measures.
The system’s splash-protected deck unit is designed to be deployed on small vessels like dinghies and jet skis. The deck unit operates on 24V power supply with only 40W consumption and connects to the operator’s laptop computer. The wet end consists of an integrated mounting for the newly designed dual transducer head and all ancillary sensors. It can be pre-calibrated, allowing for fast installation on the smallest boats of opportunity, ensuring the user spends time on the water, getting the survey done.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
