Side Scan Sonar

Shark-S100DP Deep-Water Dual-Frequency Side Scan Sonar is a versatile sonar system designed for surveys in deeper waters. It features dual-frequency (100 kHz and 400 kHz) simultaneous transmission and reception, along with Chirp modulation processing technology, enabling wide swath coverage while ensuring high-resolution imaging.

The sonar system features a rugged stainless-steel towfish, armored Kevlar cable, splash-proof deck unit, and intuitive OTech software. Engineered for durability and reliability, the towfish supports multiple mounting options, including towing, bottom deployment, and side-hull installation. The Shark-S100DP can be optionally equipped with a USBL positioning system, and a magnetometer interface is available for seamless integration with external magnetometers. A towing overload protection structure is incorporated to effectively safeguard against impacts. The towfish is hydro-dynamically designed to ensure stable towing performance. The system can be powered by either AC mains or a battery-powered inverter, while maintaining exceptionally low power consumption.

The proprietary OTech software combines ease of use with powerful functionality, offering features such as real-time image mosaicking, sonar image waterfall 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 software utilizes adaptive equalization processing technology to ensure consistent image quality across both near and far ranges. With minimal parameter settings and a user-friendly UI design, it is straightforward to operate. It supports output in the standard XTF format, compatible with third-party post-processing software. The enhanced version of the software can output multiple raw data formats in real time for the development of AI-based automatic target recognition
