Introducing the ES Series: advanced Side Scan Sonars for Autonomous Vehicles
The ES Series of embedded side scan sonars, designed for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater vehicles (UUVs), offers versatile frequency selections of 450 kHz, 900 kHz, or a combination of both. This innovative system employs self-adjusting wave technology alongside refined broadband signal processing, enabling it to effectively detect small underwater objects. It is indeed notably well-suited for high-resolution imaging tasks such as cable and pipeline inspections, underwater archaeology, oil and gas exploration, and environmental assessments.
compact and User-Friendly Design
These lightweight and compact sonar units are designed for seamless integration, featuring connectivity options through Ethernet or RS232 serial interfaces. Additionally,they come equipped with eight programmable TTL synchronous control outputs,addressing common challenges related to acoustic interference and synchronization.
Variants Tailored to Diverse Needs
The ES Series is available in four distinct models, each tailored to meet varying user specifications and operational requirements.
