In 2011 it in- troduced the all-new HydroChart 5000 hydrography system that combines high-resolution 455 kHz Multibeam side scan sonar with high-deÞ nition Interferometric bathymetry sonar for spectacular IHO quality imagery. In addition, we also introduced the UUV-3500 High Resolution Side Scan sonar for UUVs. The UUV-3500 operates exclusively with L-3 KleinÕs proprietary wideband technology providing unmatched side scan range and resolution performance in a low power, compact and lightweight payload. In 2012 it introduced the all-new HydroScan, professional-grade side scan sonar for shallow water and rapid-deployment applica- tions.The Tech The Tech The System 5900 Multi-Beam Side Scan Sonar represents KleinÕs advanced multi-function sonar platform and in- cludes the following key features: high resolution multi- beam side scan sonar, swath bathymetry sonar, gap Þ ller sonar, and integrated tow body sensor and subsystems. The sonar employs advanced signal processing techniques and superior acoustic design to improve overall along track tar- get resolution. The S5900 high speed, high resolution, side scan sonar performance capabilities, when coupled with the gap Þ ller sonar for fast coverage rates makes the system an ideal choice for MLO detection, classiÞ cation, Q-Route surveys and rapid area reconnaissance. The UUV 3500 was developed as a side scan sonar with the beneÞ t of an ad- vanced bathymetry payload for the growing Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), Remotely Operated Underwa- ter Vehicle (ROV) and UUV markets. The HydroChart 5000 represents the latest technology for the acquisition; display and processing of highly accurate bathymetry data integrat- ed with high resolution side scan imagery, meeting IHO SP- 44 Special Order Standards. The HydroChart 5000 utilizes a phase difference measurement technique and Linear FM (Chirp) processing, to produce the highest quality data sets for the hydrographic industry. www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 59MTR #6 (50-65).indd 59MTR #6 (50-65).indd 597/23/2013 9:10:22 AM7/23/2013 9:10:22 AM
