TOPAS PS18

Parametric sub-bottom profiler system

TOPAS PS18 is a parametric sub-bottom system designed for operations in water depths from less than 20 meters down to full ocean depth.

All ocean depths

TOPAS PS18 is designed for use in water depths from 10 meters to full ocean depth operation.

Compatible with KONGSBERG multibeam echo sounders

All TOPAS systems can receive slope information from KONGSBERG multibeam echo sounders to steer the beam perpendicular to the seabed for better performance. External depth information can also be received for improved operational reliability.

Simple system integration

All TOPAS systems can be integrated with standard navigation systems, vertical reference systems (EM 3000-format output, etc.), synchronizing unit (Ksync) etc. The systems can also distribute the received data blocks on the Ethernet so operators using a slave PC connected to the network can look at, process and store data locally in real-time. However, he is not allowed to modify critical operational system settings.
