The SeaMap MBES Teledyne RESON SeaBat T20-R system has more than 500 bundles with a beam aperture of only 1 ping up to 50 Hz, resulting in the collection of millions of points in a very dense configuration to make objects of even small dimensions visible. The MBES systems are used for the detection, general mapping and shipwreck mapping.
Modern MBES systems provide the ability to gather and rotate their beams in a smaller range in order for them to become denser by focusing on a specific area or object of interest. This function offers a very high-resolution scanning.
This MBES feature offers a optimal scanning of seabed trenches, ducts and objects that are parallel to the side of the navigation line, eg quays.
