Dual-frequency side-scan sonar for seabed imaging, search, and pipeline or cable route surveys.
Supplied in India by Ecoleap Solutions with installation, training and after-sales support. Specifications below are from the manufacturer's published data.
| Frequencies | 100/400, 400/900 or 900 kHz |
|---|---|
| Maximum range | Up to 450 m (100 kHz) |
| Across-track resolution | 1.25 cm |
| Depth rating | Up to 1000 m |
HydroScan towfish produce photo-like images of the bed on both sides of the survey line. They switch between CW and CHIRP pulses on two frequencies at once, so you get a long-range overview and a high-resolution image in the same pass. Three models are available: the 1400 for long range, the 4900 for high detail, and the compact 900P for shallow work from small boats and USVs.
