RESON is a leader in underwater acoustic sensors, state- of-the-art echosounders, multibeam sonar systems, trans- ducers, hydrophones, and software. RESON's SeaBat sonars and NaviSound echosounder systems have become an industrial standard in areas such as hydrography, dredging, offshore operations, marine research and defense & security. RESON was established in 1976 as a manufacturer of transducers. The company is growing and expanding into new markets and application areas - and its fourth generation of sonar systems will provide unprecedented performance for naval and commercial systems in terms of accuracy, resolution, depth rating, and range. RESON has its corporate headquarters in

Denmark, with subsidiaries in USA, U.K., the

Netherlands, Germany and Singapore.

Technology Profile: Within the last year RESON has launched a number of new products, especially within the

SeaBat 7000 series.

New SeaBat 7101 multibeam sonar system

SeaBat 7101 was launched in May 2008 as a replace- ment of the SeaBat 8101, which has been one of the most sold sonar systems the last 15 years for shallow water sur- veys. SeaBat 7101 is a small and lightweight sonar with a swath of 150° to a maximum range of 500m, which can be mounted on underwater vehicles or rapidly deployed onto survey craft of opportunity. This makes it ideal for a number of applications like subsea intervention & moni- toring, guidance & navigation, site & route surveys as well as rig re-entry.

New SeaBat 7112 multibeam sonar system for diver detection from RESON

The new SeaBat 7112 system consists of a circular array and projector ensonifying a cylindrical volume of water up to 1000 meters across. Designed to detect small tar- gets such as divers with closed circuit re-breather equip- ment, the systems will track and alert operators of their presence on a geo-referenced map of the area.

SeaBat 7125 dual-frequency sonar system

RESON launched in May 2007 the first multibeam sonar systems on the market with dual frequency for remotely operated vehicles (ROV) down to depths of 6000 meters. The new SeaBat 7125 enables exploration missions to map the sea faster, and more accurately than ever before. With the release of the updated SeaBat 7125 dual-frequency multibeam echosounder, RESON is set- ting new standards in deep-sea sonar survey.
