Side Scan Sonar

Home> Products> Side Scan Sonar

Side Scan Sonar is a sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor, or riverbed.
SonarBeam provides two kinds of side scan sonar, one is S-150 series by single beam(dual frequency), and another is 400 series by multi-beam (3, or 5 beams)
· The most high resolution images
· From single beam to multi-beam
· High speed operation full bottom coverage
· Compatible with 3rd party software
· SSS module for AUV & ROV

· Geographical & Hydrographical survey
· Mine & Sub-marine hunting
· Search & Recovery
· Pipeline & Offshore survey
