Portable Side-Scan Sonar

  16/03/2010
The HMS-1400 Side-Scan Sonar System is a part of Falmouth Scientific's new Hegg Marine Solutions Division, specialising in products and services for the hydrographic and marine survey markets. The HMS-1400 is a low-cost, portable, single- or dual-frequency side-scan system. Powered by GeoDAS software from Oceanic Imaging Consultants, the HMS-1400 comprises a portable tow fish and waterproof topside case containing the data acquisition, control and power supply.

 

The HMS-1400 is ideal for harbour security and hazard surveys, search and rescue operations, and small-vessel surveys. Dual-frequency options from 100 through 1200 kHz max allow for best range/resolution selection for specific applications. The GeoDAS interface and display software at the heart of the system provides mission planning and control, automatic tuning and target marking, and real-time mosaicing of seabed images on top of nautical chart data for effective image location and mission execution.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
