Transiting over a shallow reef from deeper water

Watch as a FarSounder-500 3D sonar detects a shoaling sea floor going from deep to shallow water. At first, the shoal is detected as an in-water target beyond the water depth limit. After that, the underwater slope is imaged by the sonar. Bathymetry from FarSounder's Local History Mapping™ is displayed under and behind the ship.

3D forward looking sonar helps you navigate safely. FarSounder's sonars can be used for ship navigation and are installed on Yachts, Cruise Ships, OSVs, Survey Vessels and Research Vessels. Our navigation sonars can be used for obstacle avoidance out to 1000 meters (1/2 nautical mile) range.
