Bathymetric Echosounder (SBES)

Drone-integrated dual-frequency sonar for accurate depth profiles and soft-sediment thickness.

The technical edge

How it works

Dual-frequency single-beam sonar distinguishes hard bottom from soft muck or sediment while a drone removes the need for a crewed vessel.

Strategic advantage

Operates efficiently in shallow, sensitive, hazardous, or boat-inaccessible water bodies.

System profile

Platform: Drone-mounted dual-frequency single-beam echosounder
Precision: Hydrographic precision for depth and sediment profiling
Data density: Mission-planned bathymetric profiles
Environment: Reservoirs, ponds, rivers, swamps, estuaries, and hazardous water
Certification: Hydrographic Precision

The data gap solved

Collects dependable depth data where launching a boat is unsafe, inefficient, or impossible.

Client advantage

Supports dredging, capacity, sediment, and water-infrastructure planning with lower operational exposure.

Structured outputs

Applied in

Bathymetry, sediment, water level, flow, sampling, erosion, capacity, and marine-infrastructure mapping.
