Description
The Tritech Micron Sonar is the smallest digital CHIRP sonar in the world and is ideal for use by small ROVs, as a first-rate obstacle avoidance sonar in miniature form.
CHIRP technology dramatically improves the range resolution compared with conventional scanning sonars - it is a feature normally associated with much larger, more expensive systems.
As part of Tritech’s SeaKing range of mechanical imaging sonars, in addition to boasting CHIRP technology, the Micron also utilises Digital Sonar Technology (DST) to offer exceptional clarity and resolution - a feature normally associated with much larger, more expensive systems.
