The EdgeTech 2205 is an extremely flexible and configurable sonar system for unmanned vehicles. It is specially designed for installation and use on Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), and other hosted platforms. This modular unit can be configured, based on the customers’ application, to collect side scan sonar images, sub-bottom profiles and bathymetric data, singly or in concert with one another. Careful attention has been paid to size, weight and power consumption. The system is provided as a complete package including transducer arrays, sensors and pressure vessel, or alternatively the core electronics and storage device can be integrated into the AUV or ROV pressure housing. The system can operate independent of the hosted platform by simply recording and storing the data, or it can be configured to autonomously interoperate with the vehicle during its mission.
While EdgeTech supplies its own Discover software on a laptop or rack-mount PC, it is also possible to interface other 3rd Party Topsides. Subsea units can be depth rated to 6000 meters or designed for lighter and shallower operations.
The robust and modular 2205 system includes EdgeTech’s unique and exciting underwater imaging technologies: Full Spectrum® CHIRP Processing, Multi-Pulse technology, Dynamically Focused Arrays and Dynamic Aperture Sonar Arrays. Our proprietary Full Spectrum® CHIRP Processing enhances long range resolutions through improved signal-to-noise ratios.
