Sportscan Sidescan Sonar

The SportScan sidescan sonar is designed from top to bottom for ease of deployment and use.  A highly advanced Kevlar™ reinforced towfish cable (included with the standard unit) is light enough to eliminate the need for a winch.  The sidescan towfish operates from a standard 12 Volt DC power supply or boat's battery, and the RS-232 connector plugs directly from the Kevlar™ towfish cable into the back of a PC computer or laptop.  Simply load the towfish body with as much ballast weight as desired, lower the towfish over the side of the boat by hand, and start towing.  Beautifully sharp, high definition images of the sea-floor immediately roll onto the computer screen!  Coral reefs, rock outcroppings, and submerged shipwrecks show up clearly as the towfish goes by.

Yellowfin Side Scan Sonar

Integrated power and an optional differential-ready GPS receiver complete this fantastic system.  Zoom windows are available for target investigation without interrupting real-time data acquisition.  Data is displayed in real-time, with or without speed correction, in 9 user selectable colour tables. 

Self Contained Reel System

Other options include level wind, remote operation, and automatic layback calculations.  GPS position is that of the towfish instead of the vessel.
The Contained Cable Reel is designed for easy handling and storage of smaller diameter cables.  It’s an all-in-one tethering solution for camera systems, scientific instruments, sonar equipment and many other applications.  The easily transportable unit includes a 1 Hp bidirectional variable speed drive with a maximum speed of  1 m/s, a variable gearing level wind system, slipring and a built in encoder with shive for monitoring the cable payout.
