OCEANOLOGY INTERNATIONAL 2020 ISS360 Sonar Launch at Oceanology International
Impact Subsea will launch the world’s smallest imaging sonar at Oceanology International in London.
At only 72mm high and 47mm wide, the ISS360 provides excellent image clarity with a range capability of up to 90 meters/295 feet.
As a very compact imaging sonar with a 4,000 meter/13,123 feet depth rating the ISS360 is an ideal navigation and target identification sonar for the smallest to the largest underwater vehicles.
Optionally, the ISS360 can be provided with an integrated Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). This provides highly stable Heading, Pitch and Roll readings.
Imaging:
The ISS360 imaging sonar utilises a broadband composite transducer coupled with CHIRP acoustics to provide excellent image clarity and range capability.
The sonar provides a full 360° field of vision produced by a mechanically scanned transducer. The transducer utilises inductive coupling to the sonar electronics which enables operation without the use of slip rings. This ensures excellent longevity in operation without the need to periodically return for slip ring replacement.
All sonar settings are fully software configurable using the seaView software. The seaView sonar application is highly intuitive to use for the operator, ensuring range, resolution and other settings can quickly and easily be adjusted.

kit is available for third party integration and interface development.
Signalling:
The use of CHIRP (Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse) acoustics enables the ISS360 Sonar to produce imagery with exceptional clarity.
The ISS360 sonar can be operated at any frequency from 650 to 750kHz. The CHIRP frequency can be adjusted as required or a monotonic signalling scheme can be chosen.
The use of CHIRP acoustic signalling enables a significant increase in range resolution while maintaining an excellent range capability.
Vehicle Integration:
Provided with RS232, RS485 and Ethernet communications allows the ISS360 Sonar to quickly and easily be integrated into any ROV or AUV.
A wide power input of 12 to 65VDC is also provided to simplify integration into a wide variety of applications.
Commenting on the launch, Ben Grant, Managing Director stated “The ISS360 provides a step change
4,000m rated ISS360 Sonar in Titanium
in range capability and resolution in the miniture mechanically scanned sonar market. For ROV and AUV users looking for full 360° imagery, image clarity and longevity of sonar device, the ISS360 provides an ideal solution.”
The ISS360 sonar can be viewed on the Impact Subsea stand at Oceanology – Stand G750.
