EdgeTech 4205: Multi-Pulse/Motion Tolerant (MP/MT) Side Scan Sonar
The next generation 4205 is a versatile side scan sonar system that can be configured for almost any survey application from shallow to deep water operations. The 4205 utilizes EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology to provide crisp, high resolution imagery at ranges up to 50% greater than non-CHIRP systems; thus allowing customers to cover larger areas and save money spent on costly surveys.
Product Description
EdgeTech 4205 Multi-Pulse/Motion Tolerant (MP/MT)
The EdgeTech 4205 Multi-Pulse/Motion Tolerant (MP/MT) Side Scan Sonar is a state-of-the-art sonar system designed for a wide range of marine survey and underwater imaging applications, offering exceptional flexibility, resolution, and range. Engineered with EdgeTech’s advanced Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology, the 4205 delivers crisp, high-resolution imagery of the seafloor with improved range and target detection capabilities, even in challenging environments.
What sets the 4205 apart is its tri-frequency capability, allowing operators to choose from three simultaneous or interchangeable operating frequencies to optimize performance for specific missions. Common configurations include 230/540/850 kHz or 300/600/900 kHz, offering a balance of long-range detection and ultra-fine detail depending on the frequency used.
Ideal for marine construction, pipeline inspection, UXO detection, archaeological surveys, and search & recovery operations, the EdgeTech 4205 provides unmatched versatility in a single, lightweight towfish package. The system includes a digital telemetry system, a user-friendly topside interface, and Towfish control software that allows operators to adjust sonar settings in real time for optimal data quality.
Key Features:
-
Tri-frequency operation (e.g., 230/540/850 kHz or 300/600/900 kHz)
-
Advanced CHIRP technology for greater range and resolution
-
