GeoSwath Plus Compact

1. Introduction
This Harbour Acceptance Test (HAT) describes the test methods for the GeoSwath Plus
Compact interferometric sonar system manufactured by Kongsberg GeoAcoustics. It
verifics the system installed is fully functional, and to serve as a record of the successful
completion of the Harbour Acceptance Test.

2. Definitions
GeoSwath Plus is a seafloor imaging and bathymetric system consisting of:
-

A Deck Unit.

Transducers (Port and Starboard).

Software, for data acquisition and processing.

Sensors (sound velocity, motion, navigation and heading).
