Applications

One Name. Multiple Applications.

WASSP multibeam systems are designed to deliver clear, real-time insight into both the seabed and water column - supporting a wide range of marine applications. From commercial fishing to offshore construction, aquaculture and hydrographic survey, WASSP provides the data and confidence operators need to make better decisions on the water.

Built for practicality and performance, WASSP adapts to different vessel types, environments, and operational goals - helping crews work more efficiently, reduce risk, and get more value from every trip.

Fishing

We all know, with fishing, habitat is where it’s at. Understanding the seafloor is critical to fishing in all depths of water. The good news is, the WASSP F-Series is purpose-designed for all fishing operations. Plus, you can confidently explore new fishing grounds much faster and with greater accuracy. This is especially useful if regulations around fishing grounds change or environmental factors such as storms or droughts affect your usual fishing grounds.

Inshore

With the scalable F3 system WASSP gives you a wide range of features and capabilities. The system can be tailored to all types of inshore fishing to optimise all operations for greater efficiency and increased productivity.

Coastal

The WASSP F3 and F3X provides a 3D presentation of the seabed combined with the optional backscatter function helps you assess seafloor hardness to identify the best fishing grounds in a range of different environments.

Offshore

With accurate water column and seabed information, you’ll be better informed to make decisions that will maximise your catch and minimise your time at sea. The wideband CHIRP technology gives you excellent separation of target species throughout the water column for more sustainable fishing.

Sportfishing

With its 120-degree port-to-starboard swath, you’ll locate and map baitfish shoals quickly and easily. This lets you present your lures and bait to marauding billfish and tuna with great accuracy. The wideband CHIRP technology enables excellent target separation of bottom species like bass and bluenose.

Navigation

WASSP enhances navigation by providing a clear, real-time 2D and 3D views of the seabed beneath your Mothership, tender or both. This added layer of awareness helps captains confidently navigate unfamiliar or poorly charted waters, reducing risk and improving decision-making.

Exploration

Unlock new areas with the ability to see what lies beneath the surface in high resolution. WASSP transforms exploration by revealing underwater features, structures, and terrain, making every journey more informed, engaging, and rewarding. Explore remote locations, find shipwrecks or dive sites while ensuring safety and minimising

Anchorage

Identify safe and suitable anchorage locations with detailed seabed mapping. WASSP allows crews to remotely assess bottom depth, type and terrain, as well as identify objects helping ensure better holding conditions and greater confidence when dropping anchor in remote or poorly mapped locations.

Exploration & Superyacht

If you’re exploring new territory, many areas that are off the ‘beaten track’ won’t have been mapped in years or decades. This means you can only trust maps you generate yourself to ensure your safe passage. The WASSP W-Series allows for long range real-time remote mapping and advanced "store-and-forward" in a buffer memory (up to 24hrs) for out of range synchronisation of data.

Survey

Deliver accurate, high-resolution bathymetric data with an intuitive system designed for efficient survey operations. The WASSP S-Series is purpose-built for surveying and mapping, ideal for the for a range of applications and project types. WASSP enables fast data collection, sensor or software integration and real-time visualisation, all in a cost effective solution.

Hydrographic

The WASSP S3 bridges the gap, both technically and commercially, between single-beam survey sounders and high performance MBES systems. The easy-to-use CDX graphical user interface makes data collection simple. Open source interface means interfacing with your preferred survey software suite is easy. The W3 is open to many different sensors, which means it can be easily installed on any survey vessel. Plus, you get flexible data output to meet your requirements.

Workboat

With the WASSP you get up to 100 times coverage of
a single-beam sounder during standard operations. Workboat crew can monitor underwater infrastructure while completing their day job. Data collection is easy, with output in XYZ, GSF or direct to your survey software suite. Plus, Backscatter and visual side scan licenses can provide extra detail if you need it.

Construction

The WASSP S3 enables constant checking of a project’s status during construction without the need and expense of a specialist survey vessel. You can visualise the construction as it progresses, as and when you need. And you can find and retrieve tools (e.g. drillheads or diggers) if they have been dropped, saving you the inconvenience and replacement cost.

Dredging

When you’re dredging an area, now you can visualise and review your work as you go to assess your progress and highlight any areas you may have missed. You can also benefit from faster coverage to get the full picture quickly, rather than just spot checks. Plus, you can find and retrieve tools (e.g. drillheads or diggers) if they have been dropped, saving you the inconvenience and replacement cost.

Defence

WASSP provides enhanced situational awareness for a range of maritime security and defence applications. From seabed mapping to object detection, operators gain the data needed to operate with confidence.

Object Detection & Classification

High-resolution 3D imaging identifies submerged objects, mines, wrecks, and UUVs in real time. Water Column and BottomTargets are detected, tracked and classified simultaneouslyParticularly useful in Maritime Salvage for locating lost wrecks or shipping containers.

Disaster Recovery

With real-time 2D/3D mapping, simple setup and interface all in an economic package, WASSP is well suited to Search and Rescue. Wireless WASSP on tender/s allow for Mothership to remain in safer
waters whilst the tender/s evaluates the area. Then, when confirmed all
clear, the Mothership can enter the
pre-mapped area safely.

Patrol & Monitoring

Easily identify damage to the seafloor following a natural disaster. You can map an area extremely quickly to assess conditions so you know when and where it’s safe to proceed. Teams can detect gas leaks, seabed scouring, and structural damage to seafloor as well as locate objects like dropped tools or equipment, discover artefacts or find unexploded bombs with far greater efficiency.

USV (Drone Boat) / Autonomous Ready

Designed for Crewed & Autonomous vessels with open architecture via our SDK and ready for custom AI/ML integration, as well as modular componentry to adapt to drone vessel desing requirement.
