Micron Sonar

Ultra Compact Imaging Sonar

Similar features to the SeaKing sonar in a


compact housing
The Tritech Micron Sonar has set new standards
in compact sonar technology. It is the smallest
digital CHIRP sonar in the world. CHIRP
technology dramatically improves the range
resolution compared with conventional sonars –
it is a feature normally associated with much
larger, more expensive systems.

Benefits
● Extremely compact
● Simple to operate
● Cost effective and reliable

● Hard boot protected transducer

If the new generation of very small and low


cost ROVs are to develop their full potential it Features
is essential they are equipped with the vital ● 750m depth rating
tools and sensors expected on larger vehicles. ● True acoustic zoom
● Digital CHIRP system
The Micron Sonar incorporates the very latest
● RS232 and RS485
surface mounted digital electronics and many ● Target size measurement
software features normally found only on full
sized commercial systems.
Applications
Based on experience gained from Tritech's
● Small ROV obstacle avoidance
world class range of SeaKing and SeaPrince
● Target recognition
● AUV guidance
sonars, the Micron incorporates the most
advanced acoustic features and software
available today. The sonar can be controlled by
a customer supplied PC or laptop and it can be
configured for either RS232 or RS485
protocols. The Micron has an auxiliary port to
allow it to interface with other Tritech sensors.
