best in class resolution and sediment penetration

SUBPRO2545 – Sub Bottom Profiler (SBP)

The SUBPRO2545 is a portable Sub Bottom Profiler (SBP) with best in class resolution and sediment penetration for shallow and ultra shallow waters. The system of our SBP is very low weight and perfectly suitable for small vessels.

The 25 to 45 kHz transmit frequency and transmit power of this Sub Bottom Profiler is user selectable and can be adapted to specific applications. For example for soft sediment, sediment transport applications and upper layers of top sediment. Additionally, the high resolution capability of the SUBPRO2545 enables an outstanding detection of embedded objects. Optional additional receiver of our SBP for even higher spatial resolution and ultra shallow water surveys (starting at 0.5m).
