Introducing the Hydro-Tech MS400C: A Revolutionary Multibeam Echo Sounder
The Hydro-Tech MS400C stands out as a thorough multibeam echo sounder, integrating SVS, IMU, GNSS, and a deck unit into a single, efficient sonar head. This innovative system is specifically designed for compact Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), delivering impressive bathymetric capabilities within a lightweight package of just 5.55 kg. by consolidating hardware components and reducing cabling requirements, the MS400C streamlines deployment, facilitating effective and high-resolution data acquisition even in demanding aquatic conditions.
Engineered for rapid operation and survey effectiveness, the MS400C comes with pre-aligned sensors and software that are configured for immediate use, allowing users to initiate surveys in less than five minutes. With the ability to emit up to 512 beams and a swath width of 143°, it achieves remarkable depth accuracy of sub-centimeter levels, making it ideal for mapping reservoirs, lakes, and inland waterways. its plug-and-play connectivity, low heat generation, and compact design make it a perfect choice for hydrographic missions conducted via USVs.
