WASSP, a world leader in multibeam sonar technology and part of the ENL Group, has announced the global release of the BlueBeam v2 software for WASSP systems, a significant upgrade delivering major advances in mapping quality, user control, water‑column visualisation, and operational efficiency across the entire WASSP product range.
According to WASSP, BlueBeam v2 represents the biggest leap forward in its software ecosystem in years, bringing new tools, performance improvements, and enhanced visualisation capabilities to commercial fishers, superyacht operators, research vessels and hydrographic surveyors operating in more than 30 countries worldwide.
BlueBeam v2 introduces a suite of powerful features designed to give operators unprecedented insight and confidence on the water with a host of new features such as Fish Target histograms, dual display charts, water column heatmaps, additional overlays and input integrations.
User-focused set of enhancements
Developed and refined in close collaboration with real‑world WASSP users working in some of the most demanding marine environments on the planet, BlueBeam 2’s new capabilities are built to perform where clarity and reliability matter most.
“BlueBeam 2 delivers the most user focused set of enhancements we’ve ever released,” said Cameron Hirst, marketing manager at WASSP “From fishing skippers to superyacht captains and surveyors, every user will notice the improvements in performance, clarity, and usability. This upgrade reflects our commitment to continuous innovation in multibeam sonar technology.”
BlueBeam v2 is available now for all supported WASSP systems. WASSP will be packaging the new BLUEBEAM v2 license with all new F and W series units. Existing Gen 3 customers can also upgrade to the new version to get the edge from the range of new features and increases in performance. WASSP recommends customers discuss upgrading with their local dealer to find out how Bluebeam can give them the edge in fishing efficiency.
