Innomar Technologie GmbH

Innomar Technologie GmbH develops and provides parametric sub-bottom profiler systems and related software for marine and offshore surveying. Its core products consist of acoustic instruments that image sub-seabed structures and buried objects in the seafloor or in river beds, using narrow-beam parametric acoustics to produce high-resolution sub-bottom data with strong seabed penetration. Those systems work in water depths from less than one meter to full ocean depth, and the company organizes them into solutions for shallow water, high power, remotely operated platforms, and multi-transducer applications. Innomar serves a broad range of survey and inspection markets in the marine and offshore sector. Its systems handle geophysical imaging of sediments and sub-seabed structures, dredging-related work, route surveys and surveys of offshore locations, and the mapping of buried pipelines and cables. Applications extend to archaeological investigation and to seabed acoustics events and demonstrations, which points to professional users who need detailed sub-seafloor information. The company integrates its equipment with USV, ASV, and ROV platforms, so the systems suit remotely operated and uncrewed marine operations as well as vessel-based surveys. A distinctive feature of the offering comes from the combination of hardware and software. All parametric sub-bottom profilers ship with software for online data acquisition and for converting Innomar data into industry-standard formats such as SEG-Y and XTF. For post-processing, the company recommends its ISE post-processing software. The systems aim to stay user-friendly, bringing data acquisition, quality assurance, conversion, and post-processing into a single workflow. Another distinctive aspect comes from the parametric approach itself: the low-frequency beam arises from non-linear interaction of two high-intensity sound beams, which enables narrow beams, small and portable transducers, short sound pings, reduced sidelobe ambiguity, and improved resolution and penetration. Innomar works as a manufacturer and software provider focused on high-resolution underwater acoustic surveying across shallow, deep, and full-ocean-depth environments, with products adapted to conventional vessels as well as to remotely operated and multi-transducer survey setups.
