FD-MS360 Dual-Beam Mechanical Scanning Sonar

The FD-MS360 is a high-efficiency dual-beam mechanical scanning sonar designed for reliable long-range underwater detection, imaging, and obstacle avoidance. It features multi-frequency flexibility, ultra-low power consumption, and industry-leading scanning speed, making it the ideal choice for marine survey, vessel navigation, and ROV operations.

Core Advantages

✅ Multi-Frequency & High-Performance Scanning

•Selectable frequencies (700kHz/1.2MHz/1.8MHz, default 1.2MHz) with customizable options.

•Scanning speed reaches 2 frames per second (fps), twice as fast as similar products, ensuring real-time response in dynamic underwater environments.

•Supports Panoramic or Sector scan modes, adapting to full-circle monitoring or targeted detection needs.

✅ Long Range & Deep-Water Reliability

•Maximum detection range up to 80m (700kHz: 70m; 1.2MHz: 50m; 1.8MHz: 10m), covering large-scale operational areas.

•300m maximum operating water depth, suitable for coastal, offshore, and shallow-sea missions.

• Working blind spot ≤0.2m, minimizing undetected gaps for safe navigation.

✅ High Precision & Flexible Resolution

•Minimum range resolution down to 2mm (range-dependent), capturing fine details of underwater targets.

•Detection range continuously adjustable from 1 to 100 meters, meeting diverse operational requirements.

•Ultra-narrow beam widths (1.5° at 700kHz, 0.82° at 1.2MHz, 0.6° at 1.8MHz) for accurate target localization.

✅ Low Power & Robust Connectivity

• Average power consumption ~3W (peak ≤20W), ideal for battery-powered systems and long-duration missions.

• 1 waterproof connector for signal and power transmission, simplifying installation.

•Multiple communication options (RS-485/RS-232/100Mbps Ethernet) ensure seamless integration with marine control systems.

• Wide input voltage range (12–36VDC) for stable operation in various marine power setups.

Key Applications

Perfect for vessel collision avoidance, underwater pipeline/cable inspection, seabed mapping, port security, ROV/AUV navigation, and coastal engineering survey.
