Improved Multibeam Sonar Shallow Water Mapping System

The General Instrument multibeam sonar system offers the scientific and hydrographic community a system for real-time charting in depths from 3-620 meters. The major advantage of the multibeam sonar system is complete swath coverage of the surveyed area, with the capability to overlay adjacent swaths for increased area coverage. General Instrument is presently in the initial stages of improving its shallow water mapping system by integrating the latest electronic hardware and software technology into an upgraded system design. The improved system will provide the user with greater flexibility in meeting their shallow water mapping needs.
