R2Sonic Wide Swath System

R2Sonic Broadband / Wideband Multibeam Echo Sounders represent the latest in advanced underwater acoustic technology. The Sonic systems produce reliable and remarkably clean data with maximum user flexibility through all range settings. Over 20 selectable operating frequencies are available to chose from within the 200 to 400kHz bandwidth, thus providing flexibility over resolution, range, and interference from other active acoustic systems. Equidistant beam spacing, roll stabilization and unique automated range, gate and slope tracking functions are incorporated for Sonic systems, increasing system overall efficiency

Acoustic Imaging can sell any R2Sonic model as part of a hydrograhic system. The R2Sonic systems offered for lease by Acoustic Imaging include a single head R2Sonic 2022 system, a dual head 2020 configuration specifically designed for shallow water environments. Usable swath widths of 7.5-8x water depth are achievable, with the full complement of bathymetry, backscatter (including multifrequency) and water column data recorded as required.
