KATFISH towed synthetic aperture sonar
Actively stabilized SAS towfish delivering up to 2 cm x 2 cm resolution at 4-10 knots, with real-time SAS imagery and 3D bathymetry.
Description
KATFISH is an actively stabilized synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) towfish. Articulated tailfins and an intelligent autopilot compensate for motion, allowing high-resolution seabed imaging at survey speeds of 4 to 10 knots; faster configurations are available on request.
Key features
- Real-time constant-resolution SAS imagery and 3D bathymetry
- Simultaneous dynamically focused sidescan imagery
- In-stride detection and classification
- Multibeam nadir gap-filling
- Range up to 200 m per side and area coverage up to 3.5 km²/hr
- Real-time SAS resolution 3 cm x 3 cm; post-processed 2 cm x 2 cm
Applications
Mine countermeasures, critical underwater infrastructure inspection and route survey, subsea infrastructure inspection, seabed mapping, UXO survey and marine research.
