Ultra-high resolution Integrated Bathymetric system.
The WINGHEAD i77h Apogee is a high-performance, ultra-high-resolution curved-array bathymetric system, while the WINGHEAD i79h Apogee provides an extended range and features Titanium housing.
These multibeam echosounder sonar systems are designed for rapid anywhere, anytime mobilisation, featuring the highest standard industry-leading integrated GNSS/INS positioning system. NORBIT WINGHEAD sonars are based on a state-of-the-art analogue and digital platform featuring powerful signal processing capabilities, offering roll-stabilized bathymetry and several imagery and backscatter outputs, ensuring the highest quality survey data performance. With broad R&D expertise, NORBIT has developed-from the ground up-exciting new technology that allows existing and new applications to benefit from the advantages offered by a compact wideband curved-array multibeam sonar. These advanced sonar systems are designed to deliver exceptional seabed mapping performance, even in the most challenging environments.
The NORBIT WINGHEAD i77h and i79h-Apogee are compact, ultra-high-resolution, curved-array broadband multibeam sonars with tight integration with GNSS/INS (SBG Apogee). Designed for use in the most demanding operational environments, such as under bridges or in rough sea conditions, these advanced sonar systems ensure superior performance and reliability. Characterised by a small form factor, low power consumption, and seamless integration, the WINGHEAD i77h/i79h Apogee can be installed on a wide range of surface survey platforms, from small USVs to permanently hull-mounted systems on large vessels.
With its compact, high-performance design and industry-leading technology, the NORBIT WINGHEAD sonars are redefining hydrographic surveying, subsea exploration, and marine research.
