The new 2300 combines EdgeTech’s highly successful line of side scan sonars and sub-bottom profilers into the latest EdgeTech system architecture. The new system builds on EdgeTech’s proven sonar technology in a number of ways. The system is ideal for deep water combined sonar operations and provides enhancements to traditional systems. Utilising EdgeTech’s proven Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology to provide crisp, high-resolution imagery, surveyors can choose to operate any two frequencies simultaneously from the tri-frequency system.
Sub-bottom profiler capabilities have been expanded on the new 2300 to include the ability to incorporate up to four low-frequency transducers as part of EdgeTech’s DW-106 (1–10 kHz) deep penetration system. Coupled with that is the ability to utilise a large PVDF hydrophone array providing better sub-bottom receive sensitivity and directivity.
The 2300 is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including archaeological surveys, geological/geophysical and marine construction surveys, sediment classification, cable and pipeline surveys, pre- and post-dredging surveys, as well as scour and erosion investigations.
EdgeTech’s MPES bathymetry is not installed on the GoSubsea systems at this time; however, we would consider an upgrade in the future. The Multi-Phase Echo Sounder (MPES) produces real-time, high-resolution, three-dimensional (3D) maps of the seafloor while providing a co-registered simultaneous dual-frequency side scan imagery system.
Additional features include a remote head USBL beacon, optional Nexus Multiplexer, a rear magnetometer shackle mount, and adjustable trim panels.
