During the actual expedition of the German research vessel POSEIDON of IFM-GEOMAR, L-3 ELAC NautikÂ’s SeaBeam System 3050, recently installed onboard, reached peak values regarding depth performance and coverage with a beam width of 1.5 by 2 degrees.
On the journey to the Black Sea, where the system was used for the detection of methane bubbles within the SUGAR project, the system reached a depth performance of more than 3,400m and a coverage of more than 5,000m, thus exceeding the calculated values of 3,000m (depth performance) and 3,500 m (coverage) significantly. The technological performance and reliability of the SeaBeam system was thus proven.
