6205s BATHYMETRIC AND SIDE SCAN SONAR 0020300_REV_E
1.1 Applications
The 6205s next-generation Swath Bathymetry & Side Scan Sonar has many potential applications, a few
of which include:
• Shallow Water Hydrographic Surveys
• Benthic Habitat Mapping
• Nautical Charting
• Military Rapid Environmental Assessments (REA)
• Route Surveys
• Dredging Operations
• Marine Debris Search
• Port & Harbor Security
1.2 Options
The 6205s is available in several standard frequency configurations:
• 230 / 550 kHz Dual Frequency Side Scan with 230 kHz Bathymetry Data
• 230 / 550 kHz Dual Frequency Side Scan with 550 kHz Bathymetry Data
• 550 / 850 kHz Dual Frequency Side Scan with 550 kHz Bathymetry Data
• 550 / 1600 kHz Dual Frequency Side Scan with 550 kHz Bathymetry Data
The modular design of the 6205s allows for multi-frequency bathymetry options in a single sonar head.
The field exchangeable array capability allows both shallow and deep-water operations but is only
available with 230 / 550 kHz Side Scan systems.
The different frequency arrays are color-coded to help identify them. Refer to F
IGURE 3-7 in this manual
for the location of the coding and the color-coding key.
