Product Description

R2Sonic 2022 Multibeam Sonar (Rental)

The R2Sonic 2022 Multibeam Sonar is a compact, lightweight, and ultra-high-resolution sonar system designed for shallow water bathymetric surveys, making it ideal for use in ports, rivers, coastal zones, and inland waterways. With a selectable frequency range of 200 kHz to 400 kHz, the Sonic 2022 delivers exceptionally clean, dense data for precise hydrographic mapping and seabed characterization.

Engineered for flexibility and performance, the Sonic 2022 supports CHIRP (pulse compression) for improved range resolution and variable swath sector control up to 160°, allowing users to adapt the system in real time based on survey goals and environmental conditions. Whether mounted on small vessels, USVs, or ROVs, the Sonic 2022’s low power consumption and compact design make it easy to integrate into a variety of platforms.

This sonar system provides real-time beamforming and offers multiple beam spacing options (equidistant, equiangle), ensuring data consistency across various seabed types. Optional add-ons include backscatter data, TruePix™ imagery, and water column data, enabling advanced feature detection and classification.

Key Features:

• Frequency range: 200–400 kHz, selectable on the fly

• Swath coverage: Up to 160°

• Depth range: 0.2 m to 150 m

• Beamwidth: 1° x 1° at 400 kHz

• CHIRP-enabled for superior range resolution

• Real-time roll, pitch, and heave compensation

• Compact and portable, ideal for small survey vessels and USVs

• Interfaces with INS, GNSS, and sound velocity sensors

• Supports industry-standard data formats

The R2Sonic 2022 offers the accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability survey professionals need for shallow water mapping missions.
