    Shark-S100D is versatile sonar which can be applied to shallow and deep water.It features dual simultaneous frequency operational at both 100kHz and 450 kHz. Being able to switch between CHIRP and CW modes provides flexibility, allowing you to optimize the sonar for different survey conditions.

    The sonar system features a robust stainless steel towfish, high-strength Kevlar cable, splash-proof deck unit, and intuitive OTech software. Built for reliability and durability, the towfish is easy to operate by a single person. it offers versatile mounting options, including towing, bottom mounting, and side-hull fixation. Towing overload protection structure is added to effectively guard against impacts. The system can be powered by either AC or a battery-powered inverter, with extremely low power consumption.

    The proprietary OTech software combines ease of use with powerful functionality, offering features such as real-time image mosaicking, sonar image waterfall display, survey line planning and navigation, track tracking and coverage display, data recording and playback, target management and export, and multi-window sensor infomation display. The software utilizes adaptive equalization processing technology to ensure consistent image quality across both near and far ranges. With minimal parameter settings and a user-friendly Ul design, it is straightforward to operate. lt supports output in the standard XTF format, compatible with third-party post-processing software.

    KEY FEATURES

    • 100kHz and 450kHz operate simultaneously, enabling both wide-swath coverage and high-resolution imaging

    • Built-in attitude sensor for real-time tracking of pitch, roll, and heading

    • Integrated single-beam echosounder for accurate bottom-tracking

    • Supports real-time mosaicking, raw data output, and SDK development

    • OTech's multifunctional software offers free periodic upgrades and updates.
