face bottles. The focused 0.5° x 1° beam widths, coupled with ultra high 60kHz signal bandwidth, are designed to provide excellent resolution over bottom features and imagery. The Sonic 2024 provides productive swath coverage up to 150° (7.4x WD) with selectable ping rates up to 100 Hz enabling faster survey speeds, reducing survey time and costs.

New Scanning Sonars & Profilers
Engineering a contract for two Easytrak Portable subsea tracking systems through its partner CA Clase AB of Göteborg. Easytrak is a USBL tracking system that can provide vital location information on moving targets such as divers and ROVs operating out of sight underwater, and will be primarily used in the authority's search and rescue.

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. "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.

Subsea Kongsberg Maritime was scheduled to debut two new sonar products from its sonar division, Kongsberg Mesotech Ltd. The 1171 Series is a complete range of multifrequency, fast scanning obstacle avoidance imaging and profiling sonars, which have been developed to meet the requirements for both shallow and deep ocean applications. The dual transducer design allows optimized operational configuration for both long range obstacle avoidance and shorter range imaging detail. The transducer is protected within an oil-filled, pressure compensating dome.

Highest Resolution Magnetic Sensing
Swedish Coastguard Selects Easytrak
The Swedish Coastguard has recently awarded Applied Acoustic
PNI Sensor Corporation announces availability of the MagIC ASIC. When used in conjunction with PNI's SEN-XY magneto-inductive sensors, the MagIC facilitates six times greater magnetic resolution and sample rates than the current PNI solution. The MagIC is a new magneto-inductive drive circuit enabling PNI's SEN-XY to more precisely and rapidly sense magnetic fields while drawing very little power.
