Kongsberg Mesotech M3 Sonar: Multibeam Sonar Head

It is used to generate high-resolution images that are easy to interpret due to its combination of a conventional multibeam sonar with image quality comparable to a single beam sonar.

The Multibeam sonar works similarly to a standard bottom long-range sonar, but instead of creating a single image, it generates up to 10,000 individual images, which are then merged on the boat’s console to create a final high-quality image of the area.

High-performance sonar head with a 16.8 kHz bandwidth that is densely packed.

Cost-effective and time-saving.

A simple-to-use touch-screen control is also available.
