The next-generation 4205 is a versatile side scan sonar system that can be configured for almost any survey application from shallow to deepwater operations. The 4205 utilizes EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology to provide crisp, high-resolution imagery at ranges up to 50% greater than non-CHIRP systems; thus allowing customers to cover larger areas & save money spent on costly surveys. In addition to the high-resolution imagery that EdgeTech is known for, the 4205 comes with a number of new features which makes the system even more flexible and powerful in offshore operations. The 4205 is available in either a tri-frequency side-scan sonar configuration or a motion tolerant and multi-pulse configuration. The tri-frequency version allows surveyors the option to operate any two frequencies simultaneously from the tri-frequency system.
The 4205 motion tolerant configuration with multi-pulse provides surveyors the ability to operate either at faster survey speeds or in more adverse weather conditions while still obtaining high-quality underwater imagery. Additionally, this configuration can be operated in a single pulse high-resolution mode for those operations that require an even more finite view of the seafloor.
