EM 710S Echosounder Passes Navy Tests

The newest Kongsberg Maritime AS multibeam echosounder received high marks in initial sea trials onboard the

Royal Navy ice patrol ship, HMS

Endurance. Kongsberg's Freddy Pøhner said the EM 710 multibeam echosounder (CW pulse version) is a high- to very-high- resolution seabed mapping system that can be tailored to user requirements, allowing for choice of beamwidths as well as trans- mission modes. Minimum acquisition depth is from less than three m below its transducers, and the maximum acquisition depth is up to 2,000 meters. Swath width is up to 5.5 times water depth or 140° to a maximum of more than 2,000 meters.

Endurance patrols and surveys the antarc- tic and South Atlantic, maintaining close links with the U.K. Hydrographic Office and the British Antarctic Survey. She is due to return to Portsmouth later this month, with final EM 710S performance trials planned in mid-July. news
