Yacht Tender Seafloor Mapping System
Wireless WASSP has been designed to address one of the yacht captain's biggest concerns; underwater obstacle avoidance where hull damage or grounding the vessel is to be avoided at all costs.
Ideally suited to use when navigating in unknown waters or where marine charts lack sufficient detail, Wireless WASSP takes the risk out of the equation for the captains of these very large and very expensive vessels.
Installed in the tender or support vessel, the Wireless WASSP system uses a WiFi link to send a real-time sea floor map back to the yacht's bridge to display on a MaxSea navigation platform - all in real-time.
Using a wide angle, Multi-beam transducer, the WASSP quickly and accurately covers the seafloor. With one pass at a depth of 20 metres, the system will map a swath over 60(!) metres wide using 112 sonar beams and renders an information-rich 2D or 3D real-time image on the yacht's bridge.
Seafloor topography, rock or coral outcrops, wrecks and other obstacles are clearly identified giving large vessels the opportunity to navigate safely into or through areas that would have previously been seen as ‘off limits’.
Oh, and by the way.....
It will find fish and wrecks for you too!

WASSP Multibeam Sonar Seafloor Mapping
9 年It's one of the many applications for the WASSP Multibeam Sonar system.
