We're excited to introduce Layered Media Detection (LMD)—a new optional capability for the WINGHEAD X Midwater multibeam sonar. LMD enables surveyors to simultaneously identify the fluid mud layer and the underlying navigable bottom during a single multibeam survey. By combining concurrent detection processes across multiple frequency bands within a single broadband acoustic signal, the system distinguishes sediment layers while maintaining high-resolution bathymetric performance. Unlike traditional single-beam methods that provide measurements only along individual survey lines, LMD delivers continuous bathymetric coverage across the entire survey swath, enabling surveyors to evaluate larger areas more efficiently and make decisions with greater confidence based on a far richer dataset. This release also introduces WINGHEAD X Midwater, bringing our proven long-range midwater sonar into the configurable WINGHEAD X platform. Customers can tailor the system to their survey requirements by selecting hardware, integrated GNSS/INS and software capabilities, including LMD. More information. Greater productivity.
