1. HYSWEEP® Overview

3. Multibeam vs. Single Beam
The Good:
Saves time: Multibeam provides high resolution and full coverage of the seafloor. The data is more accurate for volume computations.
The Bad:
More data to work with and more time to process. With additional sensors needed, there are more error sources.
The Ugly:
Plane is lost entirely in single beam contours.
Example of using a Multibeam where previous work was with single beam sonar. An Obstruction was easily missed

4. Multibeam Sonar Types Beamforming Systems: Interferometric Systems:
Forms beams using an array of transducer elements.
Each beam has a Maximum Response Angle, giving the direction of the beam.
Interferometric Systems:
AKA bathymetric sidescan.
Forms beams from phase angle of backscatter.
Edgetech 6205
Dual R2Sonic 2020
Ross Sweep System
Multiple Transducer Systems:
Widely spaced transducers pointing down. 4

5. Support Sensors Sound Speed Sensor & Profiler: Heading:
Sensor: Sound speed at sonar head.
Profiler: Sound speed through water column.
Heading:
Using a gyro or dual GPS antenna array.
Motion reference (MRU / IMU):
Measures boat heave, pitch and roll. 5

10. Multibeam systems need calibration!
Calibration Tools
Multibeam systems need calibration!
HYSWEEP® Patch Test
Pitch, roll and yaw alignment. Find out EXACTLY where the sonar is pointing.
Account for GPS latency if needed.
HYSWEEP® Bar Check
Much like single beam - verify draft measurement.
Why we need to patch test.
Bar check window. 10

11. Survey Preparation Planned Survey Lines Coverage Matrix
Make parallel lines spaced for target coverage.
Sometimes difficult with multibeam - coverage changes with depth.
Coverage Matrix
Alternative to planned lines.
“Paint the Bottom” until there are no gaps.
Large depth changes make line planning difficult. Alternative is “Painting the Bottom”. 11

HYSWEEP® Survey
Features
Data collection and logging.
Targeting and coverage mapping.
TPU and other QC checks visible in over real time displays
HYSWEEP® 3-D Seafloor
Refraction Errors seen in real time
Refraction occurs at changes in sound velocity.
Errors when SV profile doesn’t match conditions – estuaries can be troublesome.
Look for smiling or frowning sweeps.
Same take-off angle, different ray paths.
