Ultra High Resolution Imaging Sonar

Blueprint extended its sonar product range with the introduction of the M3000d dual frequency multibeam imaging sonar. For general purpose navigation and target detection the sonar is operated at 1.2MHz. This provides a maximum range capability of 30m and an acoustic ap- erture of 20 by 130 degrees. While the image quality at this frequency is impressive, it may be further improved

At this frequency the sonar provides an exceptional acoustic angular resolution of 0.25 degrees and a beam L3Harris Technologies is an agile global aerospace and spacing of better than 0.1 degrees.

ROV and diving systems. deep sea exploration and light interven-tion work.

The vehicle is the largest and most heavy-duty ROV manufactured by DOE and packs a robust design for deep sea maneuverability and power. Con? gured with six vectored horizontal and two vertical 2.2 kW Tecna- dyne brushless thrusters, the Phantom X8 has complete control and authority in any given direction, even in the toughest currents. For clarity underwater, the Phantom

X8 boasts high de? nition (1080p) front (+/-90°) (pan op- tional) and rear (low light) cameras with 3 LED lights emitting 30,000 total Lumens with adjustable brightness controlled by the pilot control box or GUI.
