Innomar light: Portable Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler

The Industry Standard for High-Resolution Inshore Surveys

Product Overview

The Innomar light is a compact, high-performance parametric sub-bottom profiler (SBP) specifically engineered for survey operations on small boats and in shallow-water environments. It is the perfect entry-point for professionals who require the precision of Innomar’s parametric technology in a highly portable, user-friendly package.

Ideal for water depths between 0.5 and 400 meters, the "light" model integrates the transceiver electronics and a control PC with a 10-inch touchscreen display into a single desktop unit. This "plug-and-play" design minimizes mobilization time, making it the go-to choice for river, lake, and coastal surveys where vessel space is at a premium.

Why Choose the Innomar light?

• Parametric Advantage: Unlike conventional chirp systems, the Innomar light uses non-linear acoustics to produce a narrow, focused beam (approx. 4°) that is virtually free of side lobes, ensuring crisp data in shallow, high-reverberation areas.
• All-In-One Design: The topside unit features a built-in PC and display, removing the need for external laptops and complex cabling on deck.
• Superior Resolution: Capable of a layer resolution of up to 5 cm, it can distinguish between thin sediment horizons that other systems blur together.
• High Penetration: Despite its portable size, it can penetrate up to 40 meters into the seabed (depending on sediment type), revealing complex geological structures and buried objects.
