UAC-300S   Underwater Acoustic Camera 

250m Wide Swath Side Scan Sonar (300kHz) 

The UAC-300S side-scan sonar is a multi-beam side-scan sonar system developed to deliver efficient and high-clarity underwater detection and underwater imaging for applications such as target detection and positioning. Built upon the team’s extensive experience in imaging-sonar system design, low-noise electronic engineering, signal processing, and image processing, the system adopts a modular design philosophy with maturity and stability as its core principles. It integrates technologies such as dynamic focusing, low-noise and low-power electronic circuits, image equalization and enhancement, and real-time mosaicking for high-resolution sonar imaging.

The side-scan sonar can be deployed on towfish, UUVs, and other underwater carrier platforms, offering clear imagery, stable performance, and ease of operation.
