Description
The requirement is for a contractor to procure and deliver Norbit Multibeam Echo Equipment and Accessories delivered to the DPAA in Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. DPAA as a new requirement for a modern multibeam sonar system to enhance its capability to detect and map seafloor objects. The Norbit Multibeam system provides sub-centimeter bathymetric data detecting and mapping seafloor objects to expedite the identification of possible loss incident-related material and aid in initial interpretation of those materials allowing for increased efficiency of intensive ground-truthing investigations that require remotely operated vehicles and/or divers. A more detailed of the seafloor surface also allows for more accurate and detailed dive operation planning increasing the safety of personnel. This specific equipment solution expands current capabilities by collecting data with a single device that previously required two separate devices, greatly increasing operational efficiency. A brand name justification is attached
