다중빔 음향측심기는 수심의 3∼4배되는 주사 폭으로 넓은 지역을 동시에 측량하므로 자료의 정밀도와 작업효율성이 단빔 음향측심기보다 상대적으로 높다. 그러나 빔의 생성 및 계측 원리가 정교하여 탐사선의 움직임에 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 부가장치의 정확한 조정 작업이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 다중빔 음향측심기의 정확도 향상을 목적으로 평탄 해저지형에서 빔의 중앙과 ± 45°의 빔각을 이루는 지역의 수심단면을 가시·통계적으로 분서한 결과, 관성센서의 진동과 부가장치의 오정렬에 의한 오차가 발생하여 부가장치에 대한 조정이 필요하였다. 따라서 방진재를 관성센서에 부착하여 선체로부터 받는 진동을 저감시키고, 선체 자세요소와 부가장치의 오프셋 값을 정밀 계측하여 수평자세요소 값으로 변환·정렬시켰다. 그 결과, ±45° 빔각 지역의 수심 정확도는 IHO S44의 1등급 수로측량 수준에서 특등급 수로측량 수준으로 향상되었으며, 오정렬에 의한 중첩구역의 물결무늬 현상도 현저히 감소하였다.
