NEW SON

30

Teledyne Marine ‘s advanced,

forward-looking sonar (FLS)

systems offers tailored solutions

for various applications.

Underwater navigation is fraught

with challenges—unpredictable

environmental conditions and

hidden obstacles. In regions like

the Arctic, shifting ice floes can

pose significant risks, while

coastal areas with complex

topographies demand

heightened situational

awareness.

Teledyne’s forward-looking

sonar systems address these

challenges by providing high-

resolution, near-real-time

imaging of the underwater

environment, ensuring safer and

more efficient operations.

Unlike downward-facing sonars

that primarily survey the

seafloor, FLS systems focus on

the horizontal plane, making

them indispensable for

detecting obstacles, monitoring

marine environments, and

navigating dynamic or poorly

mapped areas. These

capabilities are crucial for

industries ranging from offshore

energy to defence and scientific

research.

BLUEVIEW SERIES

For precise, close-up imaging

during diving applications, the

BlueView series handheld

systems produce crisp pictures

for hull inspections and

underwater construction.

These sonars are lightweight,

scalable solutions that connect

seamlessly to existing AUVs and

ROV systems.

They are particularly flexible

and ensure reliable operation in

harsh underwater environments.

SEABAT F50 AND 7123

On the other hand, the SeaBat F50

and 7123 are used for longer-

range and better resolution.

The most precise systems the

company offers for imaging for

navigation, search and rescue, and

offshore energy. .
