Salient Characteristics:

The equipment to be rented will be deployed by in-house forces for conducting subsea imaging and bathymetric survey projects that will require the use of a small skiff sized vessel, including vessels of opportunity where temporary installation of the sonar equipment will be required.

Consequently, the project requirements necessitate the use of special light weight, compact and high resolution multi-beam sonar. High resolution subsea imaging work will require the use of multi-beam sonar equipment capable of simultaneously transmitting 512 sonar beams with ½ degree beam spacing. Efficient bathymetric surveying operations necessitates a multi-beam sonar system capable of maintaining a minimum 150 degree swath angle in water depths of 150 meters or greater. The Reson Seabat T50 P Portable Multibeam Sonar System including all ancillary equipment (as described above) is specially designed to be highly portable by using light weight, compact sized components and is the ONLY such equipment that satisfies the 512 sonar beams requirement with ½ degree beam spacing and minimum depth requirements.
