has glosseng: Multibeam echosounders, also known as Swathe (British English) or Swath (American English) echosounders, originated in the late 1950s, originally for military applications. They were developed in the 1970s by the US Navy, in conjunction with General Instruments to map large swaths of the ocean floor to assist the underwater navigation of its submarine force. Starting in the 1970s, companies such as General Instruments (now SeaBeam Instruments, part of L3/Klein) in the United States, Krupp Atlas (now Atlas Hydrographic) and Elac Nautik (now part of L3 Communications) in Germany, Simrad (now Kongsberg Maritime) in Norway and RESON in Denmark developed systems that could be mounted to the hull of large ships, and then small boats (as technologies improved and operating frequencies increased).

Meaning
Dutch
has glossnld: Multibeam echolood, ook wel padloder is een apparaat, dat gebruikt wordt in de hydrografie, om de afstand tot de zeebodem mee te kunnen berekenen. Het is in principe een samengestelde singlebeam. De multibeam zendt in één keer, in tegenstelling tot de singlebeam, meerdere geluidspulsen uit onder verschillende hoeken. Deze bundel van pulsen vormt een verticale waaier onder het schip. Deze waaier loopt van loodrecht onder het schip in dwarsscheepse richting aan beide zijden. Door deze bundel wordt een pad gemeten op de zeebodem. Dit pad wordt breder naarmate de diepte groter wordt.
