What is multibeam?

Multibeam is a sonar system that uses multiple beams to map the seafloor or other underwater features. It emits sound waves in a fan-shaped pattern and analyzes the returning echoes to create a detailed image of the underwater environment. It is commonly used for hydrographic surveying, underwater mapping, and object detection.

Side Scan Sonar

Side scan sonar is an alternative acoustic imaging technology that, like multibeam, is used for seabed mapping. While multibeam provides bathymetry, side scan sonar provides high-resolution imagery of the seafloor. They can be used together, but sometimes side scan sonar is chosen as a lower cost alternative, especially when only imagery is needed.
