    The Shark-S150T embedded tri-frequency side scan sonar is designed for both shallow and deep-water surveys. It is tailored for integration with unmanned surface vessels (USVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), and other embedded platformsdelivering ultra-high-resolution imaging. The system supports flexible configurations of 150 kHz / 450 kHz and 450 kHz / 900 kHz.

    The system includes two pressure-resistant transducer arrays, an electronic unit (sealed or unsealed), a communication and power cable, and proprietary OTech sonar software. It features a low-power design and operates on a wide DC input range of 18–36 V.

    The proprietary OTech software includes features such as real-time image mosaicking, sonar image display, survey line planning and navigation, track tracking and coverage display, data recording and playback, target management and export, and multi-window sensor information display. The sonar image adaptive equalization technology ensures consistent display quality for both near and far images. The system supports remote control of operations and parameter settings, and output in standard XTF format to enable processing in third-party software.

    Key Features
    • Triple-frequency capability adapts to a wide range of survey environments
    • Command-based remote control of operations and parameter settings
    • Real-time raw data logging and output for auto target recognition development
    • OTech’s multifunctional software offers free periodic upgrades and updates.
    • Full-coverage real-time mosaicking and imaging with SDK support.
