Usable from less than one metre down to 500 metres
A unique feature of Innomar's parametric SBPs is the possibility to work in extremely shallow waters, even less than one metre. Devices can be mobilized on vessels of opportunity or autonomous platforms at various scales.
The "Innomar smart" model is the smallest member of the Innomar sub-bottom profiler family for inshore surveys in shallow waters down to 100 metres water depth using small boats.
The "Innomar smart" model is the smallest member of the Innomar sub-bottom profiler family. It has been designed for inshore surveys in shallow waters down to 100 metres water depth using small boats, but can also be used in coastal areas. Because of its small size and weight this system is convenient even on the smallest boat and on uncrewed remotely or autonomously operated vehicles (USV/ASV). The topside unit is controlled via Ethernet (LAN / WiFi) using any Windows based PC or tablet.
The "Innomar smart" 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.
Technical specifications are subject of change without notice.
Sub-bottom profiling in shallow waters is challenging for traditional systems and techniques due to wide-beam transducers, sidelobe patterns, ringing effects and high reverberation levels. The parametric technology used in our shallow-water models offers very narrow beams of less than 5 degrees with highly portable transducers and a high system bandwidth with sub-decimetre resolution.
Devices can be mobilized on vessels of opportunity or autonomous platforms at various scales.
The Innomar parametric sub-bottom profilers have been formerly also known as "SES-96", "SES-2000" or "Innomar SES" SBPs. Since 2020 new or improved models introduced do not use the term "SES-xx" in the model name any more.
