The innovative design of the M3 Sonar® uses two sets of complementary transducers which allow it to generate both imaging and bathymetric data with the same head. Unique to the M3 Sonar® is the patented eIQ mode of operation that generates multibeam images with unprecedented clarity.

The M3 Sonar® has the ability to configure applications using complex pulses. The system allows the operator to interleave active pings and passive listening modes, Doppler, multiple true-zoom windows (up to 4) with linear FM and CW imaging modes of operation. Data outputs are compatible to the following third party
software:

Five operating modes:

• Imaging
• Enhanced Image Quality (eIQ)
• ROV Navigation (selects eIQ or imaging based on range)
• Profiling/Bathymetry
• Dual Head Pipeline survey

Applications

• Marine engineering & site inspection
• Shallow water bathymetric surveying
• ROV navigation / obstacle detection & avoidance
• Pipeline surveying
• Search & recovery
• Underwater security & inspection
• Environmental monitoring
• Underwater construction support
• Scientific research
