KONGSBERG – Dual Axis Scanning (DAS) Sonar

The Dual-Axis Scanning (DAS) Sonar is a profiling system designed for long-term seabed or structure monitoring.

This scanning sonar works with both the MS1000 software program or in “standalone mode” where the data is logged in the head and transmitted to shore via cable or wireless telemetry.

The continuous 3D-surveying capability of the DAS provides crucial information on the dynamics of sediment scour and aggregation, and its rugged design is ideal for deployment on structures located in high-current or harsh offshore environments.

The DAS outputs an X, Y, Z serial data string of profile points that can be processed by many digital terrain modeling software packages including Kongsberg VistaGround and EIVA
NaviSuite Edulis (specific to scour monitoring).
