Teledyne Marine has launched the SeaBat T51-P , a new variant of its SeaBat T51 multibeam echosounder that combines the system's established sonar performance with a portable processor designed for use in exposed marine environments.

The SeaBat T51-P pairs the T51 sonar with Teledyne RESON’s portable sonar processor (PSP), which is IP-rated and splash-proof.
