High-resolution side scan sonar for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs)
The Klein UUV 3500 is a side scan sonar system with an integrated bathymetry payload. Designed for AUVs and ROVs, the UUV 3500 provides detailed seafloor imaging and topographic mapping in a compact, modular form factor.
-
High-quality imagery: Provides low-frequency and high-frequency operating options to support detailed underwater surveys.
-
Side scan imagery + bathymetry: Simultaneously generates side scan imagery and co-registered swath bathymetry, delivering two concurrent data outputs for analysis and archiving.
-
Flexible operating modes: Supports dual-frequency operation to prioritize across-track resolution, and single-frequency operation to optimize data bandwidth and throughput.
-
On-board processing: Interfaces with CAD/CAC processing systems to support real-time data handling.
-
Software Development Kit (SDK): Enables control and integration using Klein’s proprietary image display engine for customization and system integration.
-
Integration options: Compact, lightweight, and low-power electronics available as OEM modules or in watertight pressure-case configurations.
-
Ruggedized design: Ruggedized transducers and electronics designed for marine operating environments to support durability and consistent performance.
Unparalleled Performance in a Compact Payload
-
Hydrographic and Geophysical Surveys: Capture ultra-high-resolution seafloor images for accurate hydrographic charting, seabed mapping, and geophysical surveys.
-
Cable and Pipeline Surveys: Survey and inspect subsea pipelines, cables, and offshore infrastructure with precision and confidence.
-
Mine Countermeasure (MCM) and ISR Surveys: Perform efficient, high-resolution surveys with a robust, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) sonar system, supporting military operations and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
