FS-3DT Bistatic 3D Forward Looking Sonar
The FS-3DT Bistatic sonar from Farsounder is a design to mount the transmitter and receiver in separate, but smaller, form factor modules. "Listening to our customers over the years, this concept is something that we have been contemplating for quite a while," said Matthew Zimmerman, VP Engineering.
Scan the Seabed with StarFish
Tritech launched the new StarFish 450H, a hull-mounted side scan sonar which is designed to produce spectacular images of the seabed. The sonar design combined with flexible mounting bracket can be fixed on to any vessel and allows users to monitor the seabed for interesting targets. Using digital CHIRP acoustic technology, StarFish 450H can view targets at longer ranges without any loss in image quality. The StarFish 450H is priced $2,400.

"Hydrodynamics can be a major consideration for some vessels, such as high speed catamarans, and very fine line motor and sailing yachts. These new modules will have a significant impact for such streamlined vessels." Separation of the module s can be horizontal or vertical allowing greater installation flexibility, for example with a catamaran, one module could be placed in each hull.
