    The Shark-S100DE Embedded Dual-frequency Side Scan Sonar is a multifunctional side scan sonar system designed for high-resolution imaging in both shallow and deep-water environments. It is specifically engineered for unmanned surface vessels (USVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs/UUVs), and other embedded platforms. It supports both Continuous Wave and Linear Frequency Modulated Chirp signals, operating at 100 kHz and 450 kHz simultaneously to deliver both wide-area coverage and high-resolution detail.


    The system includes two pressure-resistant transducer arrays, an electronic unit (sealed or unsealed), a communication and power cable, and proprietary OTech sonar software. It features a low-power design and operates on a wide DC input range of 18–36 V.


    The proprietary OTech software includes features such as real-time image mosaicking, sonar image display, survey line planning and navigation, track tracking and coverage display, data recording and playback, target management and export, and multi-window sensor information display. The sonar image adaptive equalization technology ensures consistent display quality for both near and far images. The system supports remote control of operations and parameter settings, and output in standard XTF format to enable processing in third-party software.

    Features

    • Dual-frequency simultaneous operation, enabling both wide-swath coverage and high-resolution seabed imaging
    • Command-based remote control of operations and parameter settings
    • Real-time raw data logging and output for auto target recognition development
    • OTech’s multifunctional software offers free periodic upgrades and updates.
    • Full-coverage real-time mosaicking and imaging with SDK support.
