Discover the Power of Precision: The HQ-400 Multibeam Echosounder

Introducing the HQ-400: A Cutting-Edge Multibeam echosounder

The HQ-400 stands out as a compact and easily transportable multibeam echosounder, perfectly suited for various uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). This innovative device excels in gathering high-resolution data, making it an excellent choice for detailed bathymetric and hydrographic surveys. Its integrated design combines sonar technology, temperature sensors, a compass, and a pre-calibrated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) into one cohesive unit, allowing for versatile installation and rapid deployment.

Enhanced Data Quality and Reliability

With its precise depth measurement capabilities and compensation for roll, pitch, and yaw, the HQ-400 significantly improves the accuracy and dependability of survey data. This system is equipped with a variety of advanced functionalities, such as tilt measurement, real-time stabilization for roll, near-field focusing, and water column imaging, ensuring extensive data collection.
