Description
This sonar seamlessly integrates with the BlueBoat to provide side scan sonar imaging to help you locate and identify underwater objects and map the seafloor. It comes ready to use on the BlueBoat and uses the Cerulean SonarView application in BlueOS for real-time data visualization.
An Ethernet Switch is required on the BlueBoat.
What is Side Scan Sonar?
A side scan sonar is a type of imaging sonar that allows you to quickly collect seafloor imagery to map large areas. The side scan transducers have a narrow, tall beam shape, so when they are mounted to either side of the boat, they have a full 180-degree view under the boat.
When scanning, the transducers emit an acoustic pulse and then record the response as echoes return from the seafloor. That creates a slice of an image, and as the boat moves forward, the image is filled in.
This side scan sonar uses 450 kHz transducers, which provide a 150-meter range with detailed resolution.
The Omniscan 450 SS was designed with the BlueBoat in mind, and much of the prototype testing was done with a BlueBoat. It has everything needed for a clean integration, including pre-installed WetLink Penetrators, transducer mounting brackets, cables, and hardware. The only additional item you’ll need is an Ethernet switch to connect the sonar electronics.
