Overview

The HydroBeam M4 is a portable multibeam system for inland and near-shore work. Heading, attitude and surface sound velocity are measured inside the system, which keeps the installation simple on a small boat or a USV. Up to 1024 beams across a swath of up to 150° give full-coverage maps of the bed for channels, berths, intakes and dam structures.
