Side scan sonar towfish.
Side scan sonars are designed to view the seafloor from the side and provide very poor geometry directly under the towfish figure 2.
Side scan sonar is a category of active sonar system for detecting and imaging objects on the seafloor.
When the sea state kicks up data quality is reduced.
The towfish will record data at different sound.

Side scan sonar klein marine systems has over 50 years of experience with the development and manufacture of high performance side scan sonar systems.
Side scan sonar may be used.
Hull mounted sonars and surface robots suffer more than towed systems because the tow cable decouples some of the boat motion from the towfish.
The multiple physical sensors of the sonar called a transducer array send and receive the acoustic pulses that help map the seafloor or detect other objects.
Side scan sonar also sometimes called side scan sonar sidescan sonar side imaging sonar side imaging sonar and bottom classification sonar is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor.

The systems are deployed from a boat and typically consist of a towfish tow cable sonar software interface processing unit and a computer.
Side scan sonar systems use sonar technology to develop an image of underwater objects.
In addition to the display of side scan sonar data the system will take position input from gps.
This provides less detail but covers a large area and is generally how sonars are used in searching.
As part of tritech s seaking range of sonars sensors it is possible to run the seaking towfish with other seaking sensors over one communication link.
Our side scan sonar systems are respected as the standard of excellence in the industry and are deployed by governments navies port authorities surveyors oil companies and universities worldwide.
Side scan sonar requires steady forward motion to create quality imagery.
The image on the left is smaller indicating the sonar was operating with a longer range.
