ISS360 Imaging Sonar Provides ROV with 360 Degree View

Underwater Acoustics International (UAI) has chosen the ISS360 Imaging Sonar for installation on their Seamor Chinook ROV. The ISS360 sonar is the world’s smallest imaging sonar, providing a full 360° field of view around the underwater vehicle. The ISS360 Sonar can detect targets within a range of 90 meters and has a unique inductive coupling of the transducer to enable maintenance-free long term operation.

Ryan Wallace, UAI Project Manager commented “The ISS360 has been an amazing ROV Navigation tool for us and does not take up any real estate on our sub. The software does not get any easier to operate and the quality construction of the sensor puts it in a class of its own”.
