Finnish Navy Side-scan Sonar Contract28/08/2007 |
| L-3 Klein Associates was recently awarded a contract for the Finnish Navy which will include three Klein System 5000 high resolution, dynamically focused, multi-beam side-scan sonars. The sonars will be part of a suite of sensors that will be installed on the Finnish Navy MCMV 2010 Programme. |

The System 5000 is a five-beam side-scan sonar designed for hydrographic, military, and commercial applications requiring high-resolution images of the seafloor and bottom obstructions, while operating at tow speeds up to 10 knots and with an overall swath width of 300 metres. The System 5000 is designed to provide constant resolution, regardless of speed, by adjusting the ping rate and overlapping beams to produce 100 per cent bottom coverage with a constant 20cm (normal resolution mode) or 10cm (high resolution mode) along-track resolution. The combination of high speed and high resolution make the System 5000 a very capable instrument for oceanographic work.
