Overview
As a military technology covered by a number of patents, SeapiX is the first compact civilian system comprising a dual Mills Cross multibeam sonar transducer.
SeapiX generates one or more scan swathes along or across the vessel axis, providing total three-dimensional coverage of the water column (to provide metrological target strength and volume backscattering strength), a bathymetric profile of the seabed and sediment identification analysis.

SeapiX volumic 3D sonar images volcanic lake in Germany
In collaboration with four French, Belgian and German geoscience laboratories, iXblue’s Sonar Systems division recently mobilized its SeapiX volumic 3D sonar to image a volcanic lake in the Eifel region (Germany). The main goal was to detect gas bubbles that would help better understand the volcano activity.
