About Innomar Technologie
Founded in 1997 and based in Rostock, Germany, Innomar Technologie develops parametric acoustic systems that image sediment layers and objects beneath the seafloor. NORBIT acquired the company in 2024, adding sub-bottom profiling to its marine-technology portfolio. Innomar combines transducers, electronics, positioning interfaces and processing software in product families configured for coastal, offshore and deep-water survey.
Its robotics relevance is the payload layer: autonomous and crewed vessels can carry the profilers to collect geophysical data along planned survey lines. Saildrone is a verified integration counterpart, placing Innomar sensors on an uncrewed survey platform. The sensor supplies subsurface observations, while vehicle autonomy, navigation and mission execution remain with the platform operator.

Timeline
Events
- 2024-06-27 - Acquisition - NORBIT acquires Innomar Technologie
Innomar entered NORBIT with nearly 30 years of experience in acoustic systems, signal processing, maritime electronics and software. The acquired portfolio provides high-resolution seafloor and subsurface imaging for sediment mapping, geological survey and buried-object detection. NORBIT described the technology as complementary to its sonar portfolio and retained Innomar’s established brand and team.
