Side-scan for Very Small Targets07/01/2008 |
| In response to customer requests and military requirements, EdgeTech has designed a new side-scan sonar system that can provide very high resolution imagery at increased ranges and tow speeds. The 4700-DFX is a dual frequency 300/600 kHz system that combines EdgeTech's multi-pulse technology (for high tow speed capability) with dynamically focused transducers, which provide high resolution imagery at increased ranges. |

Using dynamically focused transducers the 4700-DFX will provide very high resolution imagery at a range of 250 metres/side at 300 kHz and 125 metres/side at 600 kHz. While operating in multi-pulse mode at the 600 kHz frequency, the system can be towed at speeds of up to 14 knots while still maintaining 100% coverage. The combination of these factors makes the 4700-DFX an ideal tool for mine countermeasure (MCM) surveys. The 4700-DFX system is available for towed,
