Operator Manual
This operator manual describes how to operate the WASSP System Multibeam Sonar
System program through its graphical user interface. There may be variations due to on-going
developments and enhancements.
1. Purpose of this Manual
2. Introducing the WASSP System Multibeam Sonar System
The WASSP is a multibeam Sonar system that uses a wide-angle sonar transducer to prole the
water column and seaoor to a high resolution. It is this unique combination of multibeam sonar
and computer processing power which provides you with unparalleled information about the
underwater environment. It gives you a wide 120° port-starboard swath of the water column and
seaoor, allowing you to nd and position reefs, wrecks, and objects in the water column or on
the seaoor. From the 120° swath, the system processes 224 dynamic beams, with each beam
containing detections from the water column and seaoor.
The information is presented in a user-friendly, mouse controlled, Windows-based operating
system. The system can output data to plotting software packages. For optimal performance,
roll, heave, pitch, heading and position inputs are all required.
Mapping an area of the seaoor requires motion compensation to compensate for the motion of
the vessel. The efciency of motion compensation strongly depends on the quality of the motion
data. Accurate ship measurements must be taken and the dockside and sea trial commissioning
procedures carried out thoroughly during installation. Even with good sensors, mapping
performance in rough seas will be less accurate than in calm water.
The WASSP System can be applied to a variety of survey methods, as well as search and
rescue, customs, and police applications.
2.1 Main Features
The WASSP System has the following main features:
Simple to use
Improved performance
The use of separate transmit and receive arrays has enabled WASSP Ltd. to optimise both
transmit performance and receive sensitivity, giving improved performance over traditional
sonar and sounders.
High detail picture of the marine environment
The transmit beam spreads over a 120° port-starboard swath and covers 4° fore-aft while
the receive beam covers 10° fore-aft, displaying a highly detailed picture of the marine
environment.
Beam stabilisation
Beam stabilisation compensates for the movement of the vessel, providing accurate seaoor
proles.
Variable beam width
Unique to the WASSP, the single beam view can not only be stabilised, but the beam width
can be varied from 5° to 40°.
Bottom lock
Bottom lock provides a traditional bottom lock mode where the changes in bottom depth are
ignored and the bottom is drawn at. Echoes are shown relative to the at bottom image,
enabling better discrimination on the seaoor.
