Is your underwater visibility holding you back? Impact Subsea‘s latest podcast episode highlights the ISS360 Imaging Sonar series, engineered to redefine compact, survey-grade underwater imaging.
Weighing just 0.37 kg, the ISS360 and ISS360HD challenge the assumption that small sonar systems mean limited performance. By leveraging broadband CHIRP technology across 600–900 kHz, the system achieves exceptional range resolution down to 2.5 mm, delivering near-photographic clarity for detailed inspection, manipulation tasks, and precision navigation. The proprietary IS³ (Impact Subsea Signalling Scheme) employs advanced phase modulation and coding to ensure signal integrity, accurate timing, and interference-free operation, even in multi-sonar deployments.
Designed for durability, the sonar features a solid titanium housing rated to 6,000 meters and uses inductive coupling to eliminate slip rings, removing a common point of mechanical failure. High-speed Ethernet communications provide update rates up to six times faster than conventional serial systems, enabling real-time obstacle avoidance and vehicle control.
With optional integrated pitch and roll sensing and open SDK integration, the ISS360 delivers a compact, robust, and autonomous-ready solution, marking a significant step forward in underwater visibility and subsea robotics capability.
