High-performance Forward-Looking Sonars
Mini Underwater Acoustic Cameras
If the performance of general-purpose forward-looking sonar fails to meet your requirements, our product series offers models with superior capabilities:
- Higher resolution (up to 0.15°)
- Longer detection range (up to 1,500 m max)
- Full-ocean-depth operation (11,000 m rated depth)
Our product range also includes innovative offerings, such as 2.5D forward-looking sonar.
Please note that products in this series are generally not available from stock. The lead time for orders is approximately 4–6 weeks. For inquiries, please contact our pre-sales technical support team or sales representatives.
MiniUAC-1303 High-Resolution Active & Passive Forward-Looking Sonar
The MiniUAC-1303 is a high-performance forward-looking sonar designed for demanding underwater applications.
By utilizing advanced beam enhancement technology, the sonar achieves high imaging resolution while maintaining long detection range, compact size, and low power consumption. This makes the MiniUAC-1303 particularly well suited for easy integration into UUVs, ROVs, and other unmanned underwater vehicles, enabling reliable small target detection and identification ahead of the vehicle.
A key distinguishing feature of the MiniUAC-1303 is its dual-frequency configuration, in which high-frequency and low-frequency channels can operate simultaneously and be displayed concurrently, providing enhanced situational awareness and improved target characterization.
MiniUAC-1310 / 1311 Deep-Sea Forward-Looking Sonar
The MiniUAC-1310 and MiniUAC-1311 are deep-sea forward-looking sonars specifically designed for applications requiring extreme operating depths.
The MiniUAC-1310 supports a maximum operating depth of 6,000 meters, while the MiniUAC-1311 is rated for depths of up to 11,000 meters, enabling full-ocean-depth operations.
Both models have been extensively validated on deep-diving submersibles and have successfully completed numerous missions in challenging deep-sea environments, including deployments in the Mariana Trench.
MiniUAC-1402 2.5D Forward-Looking Sonar
The MiniUAC-1402 is a highly distinctive 2.5D forward-looking imaging sonar.
Unlike conventional forward-looking sonars, the vertical field of view and vertical beam directivity of the MiniUAC-1402 can be configured via software. This flexibility enables a range of specialized and innovative applications, such as underwater object height measurement, layered target observation, and suppression of seabed and surface reverberation.
In addition, the MiniUAC-1402 features an automatic leveling function. Using an integrated attitude sensor, the sonar automatically adjusts its vertical beam angle to compensate for beam misalignment caused by vehicle motion, ensuring stable and consistent imaging performance.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
We offer a full range of imaging sonars covering frequencies from 100 kHz to 3 MHz, including forward-looking sonars, side-scan sonars, panoramic/omnidirectional sonars, and more.
In addition, our portfolio includes positioning sonars, scanning sonars, motion sonars, and 3D imaging sonars, providing complete acoustic solutions for diverse underwater applications.
Need a frequency option not listed in the manual? No problem. All of our products support frequency customization, typically without additional cost.
We provide sonar systems for water depths ranging from shallow waters to full-ocean-depth operations up to 11,000 meters. Our products have been integrated into multiple well-known deep-sea submersibles and have successfully completed operations in the Mariana Trench on numerous occasions.
Independent Development & Core Technology Mastery
We possess in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities for nearly all key components of imaging sonar systems, including transducers, hardware, software, core algorithms, pressure housings, dynamic and static sealing, and anti-corrosion technologies.
We have developed sonar-dedicated integrated circuits independently, ensuring optimized performance and long-term supply security.
For all high-performance sonar systems, we offer fully domestically developed and independently controllable solutions, meeting stringent requirements for reliability, security, and long-term deployment.
