Innomar smart: Ultra-Portable Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler

The Ultimate All-in-One Solution for Small-Boat & Coastal Surveys

Product Overview

The Innomar smart is the most compact parametric sub-bottom profiler (SBP) in the Innomar lineup. Designed specifically for users who need high-resolution data from the smallest possible platforms, the "smart" model integrates the transceiver electronics, a control PC, and a high-brightness touchscreen display into a single, ruggedized housing.

Operating in water depths from 0.5 to 100 meters, the Innomar smart is optimized for inshore applications such as river mapping, harbor maintenance, and coastal research. By utilizing parametric acoustics, it provides a narrow, focused beam that delivers superior vertical resolution and sediment penetration (up to 20 meters) without the bulky footprint of traditional geophysical equipment.

Why Choose the Innomar smart?

  • Total Integration: No need for external laptops or complex cable nests. The system is ready to survey as soon as it's powered on.
  • Extreme Portability: The entire topside unit is small enough to be carried by hand and operated on small open boats or inflatable crafts (RHIBs).
  • Parametric Precision: Even at this compact scale, you benefit from a narrow 4° beam width, ensuring that you map the seabed directly beneath the transducer with zero side-lobe interference.
  • Rapid Mobilization: Designed for "plug-and-play" use, making it ideal for quick-response surveys or environmental monitoring.

Ultra-Shallow Capability: Specifically tuned for shallow water, providing accurate data starting at just 0.5 meters of water depth.

Low-Power Consumption: Optimized electronics allow for longer operation on battery power, perfect for small vessels without large generators.

Parametric Technology: Uses a 100 kHz primary frequency to generate secondary frequencies (user-selectable from 5 to 15 kHz) for high-resolution sub-bottom imaging.

24-bit RAW Data: Like its larger siblings, it records full-waveform data for professional-grade post-processing and SEG-Y export.

Ruggedized Display: Features a built-in, sunlight-readable 10-inch touchscreen for real-time data visualization in outdoor environments.

SESWIN Software: Runs the full version of Innomar’s industry-standard acquisition software for professional data control.
