2200-S AUV Sonar System
EdgeTech has introduced the new 2200-S AUV Sonar System: a combined side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiler specifically designed for small, limited power budget AUVs.
The 2200-S contains a Full Spectrum (‘chirp’) dual frequency 120/410 kHz side scan sonar with a swath coverage of 800+ meters. The 2200-S processor transmits long, wide bandwidth pulses that result in higher resolution images and greater Signal to Noise Ratio resulting in extended range.
In addition, the system also has a 4-24 kHz Full Spectrum sub-bottom profiler with a number of selectable pulses available within that range. By changing the centre frequency of the pulse it is possible to select the penetration and resolution of the sub-bottom profiler.
The 2200-S is controlled from an AUV via an Ethernet link and uses less than 30 watts of power.
The 2200-S is typically used for, but not limited to MCM (Mine Counter Measures), geo-hazard,
geological/geophysical, pipeline/cable route and search surveys.
