The "Innomar deep-36" parametric sub-bottom profiler is designed for offshore applications down to 6,000m water depth. 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.
The "Innomar deep-36" SBP provides roll beam stabilisation. For roll and pitch stabilisation see our "Innomar deep-36-RP" model.
