Single beam scanning sonar - MS 1000

Introduction

MS 1000 single beam scanning and profiling sonar.
Kongsberg as leaders in single beam mechanically scanned sonar systems. The MS 1000 scanning sonar processor has the highest quality, highest resolution in the market. It is feature-packed, and continuously being developed to meet the stringent requirements of the ever-changing offshore industry.

Applications include

- Harbour defence
- Police search & recovery
- Scientific assessment & survey

MS 1000 scanning sonar software converts any standard PC into a full-function single beam sonar processor without the need for additional boards or hardware, and is designed under ISO standards to ensure compliance to reliability, statutory and regulatory requirements.

MS 1000 is a Windows-based application and can be configured to control our complete line of digital scanning sonar and altimeter products via industry-standard telemetry protocols.

Single beam sonar benefits

- Simultaneous multiple scanning sonar head and altimeter operation, and sensor configurations 
- Time-tagged recording of all sonar and sensor inputs to the PC's hard-drive or external recording device 
- Advanced target measurement and annotation tools
- Track Plotter module allowing the user to pre-plot search and survey lines, and to geo-reference sonar targets
- Ping synchronization for multiple-head operation; fused data display for dual head profiling
- Post-processing capability for profile data
- Data mosaicing
