Portuguese term

sondas de feixe

Portuguese to English Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime Hydrography
Text on hydrography and deadline breathing down my neck!

The context is

A Marinha tem equipado os navios hidro-oceanográficos com sondas de feixe fino e agora com multifeixe, permitindo a cobertura total do fundo.....

I believe a «sonda» is possibly a plummet (or sounding lead)or possibly even a probe but otherwise clueless.

If anyone can help, I'd be very greatful.

Thanks in advance
