Norwegian Subsea Revolutionizes Sonar-Based Applications with Updated MRU Technology

Norwegian Subsea is making waves in the marine technology industry with the launch of its enhanced Motion Reference Unit (MRU) lineup at Ocean Business 2025. This cutting-edge technology brings full aiding capabilities to sonar-based applications, offering unparalleled precision and reliability.

Precise Data for Bathymetric Surveying

The updated MRU lineup provides precise roll, pitch, and heave data, along with independent heading and velocity information. By eliminating the need for RTK or GNSS signals, Norwegian Subsea’s MRUs overcome common vulnerabilities in bathymetric surveying, ensuring consistent and high-quality data in real-time.

Compatibility with Sonar Systems

Designed for seamless integration with a variety of sonar systems, including multibeam echo sounders, interferometric sonars, and side-scan sonars, Norwegian Subsea MRUs offer reliable heave data for marine surveyors. The MRU 9000 series, in particular, delivers unmatched accuracy in roll and pitch, making it ideal for demanding sonar motion compensation applications.

Cost-Effective Solution

Despite its advanced capabilities, the MRU 9000 series is priced at approximately 50% lower than competing systems, making it a cost-effective choice for marine surveyors. The broader MRU range, which includes 3000 and 6000 series units, offers scalable performance to cater to various use cases, from general monitoring to active heave compensation.

Success Stories with WASSP

Norwegian Subsea MRUs have already made a significant impact in the industry through successful integrations with WASSP’s multibeam sonar systems. By providing survey-grade motion performance without the need for RTK connections, these MRUs have improved operational efficiency and reduced costs for operators working in challenging environments.

Experience the Innovation at Ocean Business 2025

The new MRU lineup will be on display at stand V53 at Ocean Business 2025, offering attendees the opportunity to witness Norwegian Subsea’s calibration-free and maintenance-free MRU platform in action. Explore how this technology can address your sonar motion compensation challenges and elevate your marine surveying operations.
