MiniUAC-1213 Dual-Frequency Forward-looking Sonar
2D forward-looking multibeam imaging sonar
MiniUAC-1213 is a dual-frequency, low-cost, high-resolution miniature forward-looking sonar.
Based on the mature MiniUAC-1203EL dual-frequency forward-looking sonar platform, this model achieves a significant reduction in cost and selling price through optimized design and improved cost efficiency, while also reducing size, weight, and power consumption.
Selectable operating frequencies range from 375 kHz to 1.2 MHz, with optional maximum operating depths of 300 m, 500 m, or 1,500 m.
MiniUAC-1213 Imaging Sonar
Key Features:
- High-Resolution Imaging: Dual-frequency multi-beam technology for precise target detection and stable imaging.
- Wide Field of View: Up to 140° horizontal FOV for extensive forward detection and situational awareness.
- Reliable Detection Range: Effective range from 120 m to 200 m (frequency-dependent), supporting obstacle avoidance.
- Compact & Power-Efficient: Miniature design with low power consumption, ideal for small UUVs, ROVs, and USVs.
- Durable & Depth-Rated Housing: Aluminum or titanium housing, rated for depths of 300 m to 1.5 km.
Overview
Product Description
MiniUAC-1213A is a 2D forward-looking multibeam imaging sonar, providing acoustic vision ahead of the platform in both clear and turbid water environments. It enables target detection and identification, obstacle avoidance, and navigation assistance.
This sonar is a deeply optimized version of the MiniUAC-1203EL, maintaining essentially the same performance while achieving substantial reductions in cost, size, weight, and power consumption.
Compared with similar domestic and international products, MiniUAC-1213A offers better performance, more frequency and function options, smaller size, and lower power consumption, at less than half the price of comparable foreign products.
Most configurations are available from stock, and non-stock configurations typically have a lead time of less than one month.
★ Recommended models, usually available from stock.
