Surveyor 240 MBES
Cerulean Sonar's Surveyor 240 is a compact and cost-effective 240 kHz multibeam echosounder that is ideal for integration into smaller USV platforms. It utilizes a 16-element receive array and a sophisticated angle-of-arrival estimation algorithm to achieve higher accuracy than conventional beam-forming techniques, resolving to less than a degree.
Surveyor 240 is ideal for very shallow-water survey operations and can also undertake surveys at depths of over 50 meters. Depending on the range and acoustic properties of the bottom, the system can identify 10-15 acoustic targets across track within a swath width of 80 degrees, and accurately calculate position and depth.
