881A 6000 m Imaging
DIGITAL MULTI-FREQUENCY IMAGING SONAR
Now with Multi-frequency Sonar, operators can generate highly detailed full-scale images with just one unit. The 881A is a programmable multi-frequency digital imaging sonar that you can operate using default frequency settings or customize the configurations for your own situation. High performance, lower cost, low power and simple set-up and installation, make this sonar perfect for the largest ROV’s to the smallest inspection ROV’s, plus AUV or UUV applications.
