EchoNIMBUS-MBES Kit – UAV Multibeam Echosounder Payload

The EchoNIMBUS-MBES Kit is a UAV-mounted multibeam echosounder payload designed for high-resolution underwater mapping and bathymetric surveys. Delivered in collaboration with SPH Engineering, it provides a complete aerial hydrographic workflow for the IF800 & IF1200 platform.

Key Features

Multibeam Sonar Mapping

• High-resolution underwater terrain mapping using MBES technology
• Captures detailed bathymetric data across wide swaths

Aerial Bathymetry Workflow

• Enables efficient drone-based hydrographic surveys
• Ideal for shallow or hard-to-access water environments

Platform-Specific Integration

• Designed specifically for the IF800 & IF1200 platforms
• Fully integrated for stable and repeatable data collection

Partner-Backed Solution

• Delivered and supported through SPH Engineering
• Includes full system integration, configuration, and validation

Complete Workflow Package

• Includes all required hardware and support
• Built for professional survey and hydrographic teams

Applications / Use Cases

• Bathymetric mapping and underwater terrain modeling
• Coastal and shoreline surveys
• Inland waterbody mapping (lakes, rivers, reservoirs)
• Dredging and sediment monitoring
• Infrastructure inspection (bridges, dams, ports)

Integration with Inspired Flight

The EchoNIMBUS-MBES Kit is fully integrated with the IF800 platform, delivering stable and efficient aerial hydrographic survey performance. Combined with SPH Engineering software and support, operators gain a complete, NDAA-compliant solution from data capture to processing.

System Configuration Notice

Pricing reflects the complete payload integration package, including hardware, software, training, and support. Aircraft platform (IF800) is not included.
