Imagine a world where sonar images with the clarity of a mechanically scanning sonar can be generated with the video-like speed of a multibeam sonar. This world now exists with the Imagenex BFS sonar system.
The BFS is an advanced, high frequency, scanning multibeam sonar utilizing Imagenex’s superior imaging algorithms, highly optimized acoustic receivers, and sophisticated digital electronics. Employing high-speed
|
|
|
|
Ethernet communications and advanced Digital Signal Processing, the BFS sonar is capable of creating 57.6o wide imaging sectors at speeds of over six frames per second. This, coupled with up to 10 mm (0.4”) range resolution, provides truly amazing video-like imagery.
With it’s compact size and low power draw, the BFS will suit any underwater application from large work-class ROV’s to small inspection vehicles.
