Bluebeam v2

The New BlueBeam v2

Better Decisions - Better Results

BlueBeam v2 is the most advanced evolution of the WASSP software ecosystem - delivering
major improvements in mapping quality, water column visualisation, and operator control.
Designed for real-world marine operations, it transforms complex sonar data into clear,
actionable insight in real time.

Navigation & Safety

COG Line & Range Rings

The new COG line allows easy understading of wind and impact on your actual track, and added range rings with scale markers let you judge distances instantly enhancing spatial awareness during operation

Custom Hazard Depth

Custom hazard overlays is now added to the Chart panel allowing immediate visual confirmation of depth clearances or for work-site specifications, with ability to set of "no go" zones, further increasing safety

EBL Profile Tool

The EBL profile tool can create vertical 2D slice of mapped seafloor areas to analyse path and identify features of dangers. This tool is essential for navigating narrow channels or identifying safe passage over shoals.

Water Column Heatmap

A powerful new heatmap mode with P\professional dB-based threshold filtering reveals biomass density and structure with clarity, making target identification faster and more intuitive.

Improved Interpolation & Shading

Better data interpolation results in smoother seabed models and also better mapping of multiple tracks. Combined with additional shading and light direction controls lets you identify features and details of the seafloor with true accuracy and understanding

Sounder Histogram

A new histogram tool let you filter and analyse targets by strength and density to better distinguish fish from noise and improve decision-making.

Mapping & Performance

Control & Customisation

Dual Chart Vertical displays

New screen options allows you to have dual screens with different chart options running simultaneously. Also choose vertical or horizontal split screen, improving your overall usability

Customisable Palettes

Full control over colour palettes to let you find the colour scheme that matches your workflow. Context aware tool also automatically switches to mode you are using

Advanced Transmission Control

Added transmission controls with high-res CHIRP or Manual/Auto CW options give absolute freedom to refine your results in ultra-deep or noisy water

External Depth Input

Ability to input external depth sensor such as a secondary sounder to ensure reliable tracking data across your marine electronics setup

GNSS Heave

The GNSS based heave allows for high-accuracy positioning to make make sure you can get good data even in challenging conditions

PC Sensor Input

New PC Sensor input capability allows you to connect NMEA data at the bridge PC and makes upgrading from older Gen 2 systems much more user friendly
