High-resolution forward-looking sonar systems for AUV, ROV and towed underwater operations

The SeaBat High-Resolution Forward Looking Sonar family comprises a set of modular, long-range acoustic imaging systems designed for integration on AUVs, ROVs, and towed platforms. Operating as forward-looking perception tools, the series supports underwater situational awareness, object detection, navigation assistance, and mission planning through continuous imaging of the water column ahead of the vehicle’s trajectory.

Across the portfolio, each system is configured to balance range and resolution for different operational envelopes, supporting tasks such as obstacle avoidance, terrain referencing, subsea inspection, and oceanographic surveying. The range includes compact vehicle-optimised units through to higher-power configurations intended for extended-range detection and advanced imaging applications in complex marine environments.
