AC-CESS Launch Scanning Sonar for the AC-ROV 100

The market leading AC-ROV 100 Underwater Inspection System is now available with an Ultra-Miniature digital Scanning Sonar. Sonar is an acoustic technique which presents an image of the environment in conditions when the camera is limited by the visible range. There may be times when visibility is poor making the location and inspection of targets in the water a more difficult task. Fitting sonar to the AC-ROV as an option overcomes the poor visibility problem and is an aid to navigation. Inline with the AC-ROV ethos of mobility, portability and robustness the solution is an integrated arrangement of the Imagenex Model 852 Sonar. The outcome retains the clean, robust and snag free shape of the AC-ROV, whilst the topside interface is 100% Imagenex standard. The Sonar system could not be easier to deploy, with no modifications required to the AC-ROV* system and no specialist training for integrating the transducer block to the vehicle.
