Omniscan 450 FS

Model OS450FS (100m and 300m rated)

Forward-looking 450 kHz imaging sonar for ROVs with transducer and electronics in one enclosure, offered in 100m and 300m depth-rated versions.

Description

The Omniscan 450 FS is suited to forward-looking ROV applications. Instead of mechanical scanning, it builds an image dynamically as the ROV moves, with SonarView painting the image in real time so the pilot controls where to scan.

Key features

  • Transducer and electronics in a single enclosure with Ethernet + power interface
  • 50 degree vertical beam height
  • Doppler mode: a pair of units (forward and side) provides 2D motion tracking and enables position hold
  • Versions for specific ROVs (e.g. QYSEA, CHASING) are offered

Applications

Used for wreck hunting, navigation and target location in murky water.
