Fugro recently introduced its next-generation coastal mapping system, the Rapid Airborne Multibeam Mapping System (RAMMS 2.0), at the Hydro 2023 conference in Genoa, Italy. RAMMS 2.0, the world’s only airborne Lidar system capable of delivering both full water column imaging and high-resolution bathymetry, is designed for precise mapping, monitoring and modelling of coastal environments. This information plays a critical role in coastal hazard assessment and mitigation, marine resource management, coastal engineering and navigation safety.
The new sensor builds on the success of Fugro’s original RAMMS, co-developed with technology partner Areté in response to client needs for more robust geospatial data delivered faster and more sustainably. Since its launch in 2018, Fugro has utilized RAMMS to map over
