2000 Series: Towed

The 2000 Series combines EdgeTech’s highly successful line of side scan sonars and sub-bottom profilers into one fully integrated system.

The system comes with a choice of two different towfish; either the 2000-CSS or 2000-DSS. The 2000-CSS comes with a low frequency 500 Hz – 12 kHz sub-bottom profiler and is designed for applications that require greater sub-bottom penetration in depths of up to 300m. The 2000-DSS comes with a higher frequency 2 – 16 kHz sub-bottom profiler and is designed for applications that require higher resolution sub-bottom imagery but less penetration in depths of up to 2,000m. Both towfish come with the choice of either a 100/400 kHz or 300/600 kHz dual simultaneous frequency Chirp side scan sonar which will provide an excellent combination of range and resolution.

A standard 2000 Series System comes complete with a combined towfish, digital telemetry that runs over a single coaxial cable up to 6,000 meters long and a 19 inch rack mount topside processor running EdgeTech’s DISCOVER acquisition software. Additionally, the 2000 Series System can be integrated with a number of auxiliary sensors such as magnetometer, depth, altitude and USBL responder.
