SonarWiz series professional geophysical and hydrological data processing software

Multi source fusion, precise interpretation

The SonarWiz series is an industry standard geophysical data processing software suite developed by Chesapeake Technology in the United States, providing a complete ocean geophysical data acquisition and post-processing solution from water depth measurement, side scan sonar, shallow subsurface profiling to magnetic measurement. This series of software supports synchronous collection of multi-source data, real-time quality control, and advanced 3D visualization, and is widely used in fields such as marine surveying, underwater engineering, geological exploration, and national defense security.

The SonarWiz series includes four core modules: Bathymetry, Sidescan, Sub Bottom, and Magnetometry. All modules are based on the unified SonarWiz platform, supporting data interoperability and joint interpretation, providing users with professional tools for the entire process from collection to output of results.
