Teledyne RESON Presents Forward-looking Sonar
The SeaBat 7130 is a high-resolution forward-looking sonar system designed specifically for 12¾ inch (approx. 324mm) AUVs/UUVs. The SeaBat 7130 operates at 200kHz and 635kHz illuminating a wide, 120° horizontal sector ahead of the sonar head assembly. The high frequency, 635kHz, provides high-resolution classification functionality, whereas the lower frequency, 200kHz, provides long-range detection capability.
The 200kHz array consists of 3 distinct sub-arrays, distributed in the vertical direction, which is processed in real time enabling vertical height discrimination of targets ahead of the sonar.
The SeaBat 7130 is primarily intended for use on AUV/UUVs, but is also applicable to ROVs and small submarines – and is depth rated up to 3,000m.
