A compact set of hydroacoustic systems (HAS) for placement on Board of autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle (AUSU), a remote-controlled uninhabited underwater vehicle( ROV), a glider and other types of surface or underwater autonomous vehicles (hereinafter-carriers).

The kit is used to equip  carriers with different types of HAS, allowing you to provide:

• various search missions
• performing overview sonar survey
• inspection of bottom objects
• mapping, hydrographic survey of the bottom
• traffic safety during the mission, etc.

The kit consists of hardware and software parts. The hardware is placed on Board of the carrier (lower post), contains an electronics unit and a set of antennas.

The software part contains the software (SW) functioning in the electronics unit. When installed on the ROV, the SW of the upper (surface) post can be additionally supplied for visualization and processing of the results of the HAS work.

The kit provides operation of the following HAS:

 

HAS type	Options for medium operating frequencies, kHz
Side-scan sonar (SSS)	100, 300, 700
The sonar circular scan (GKO)	400, 700, 1000
Dual-frequency SSS (DSSS)	100/300 100/700   300/700
Depth Sounder (ES)	400, 700, 1000
Forward-looking locator (VSL)	400
Interferometric SSS (ISSS)	100, 300, 700
Parametric bottom Profiler (PF)	300/6-24

NOTE. Other operating frequencies are possible, depending on the requirements
