Product catalog summary
Overview: The EdgeTech 4600 is an integrated swath bathymetry and side scan sonar system designed to produce high-resolution 3D maps of the seafloor. It provides simultaneous side scan and bathymetric data, utilizing eight receive element transducers and one transmit element for superior data quality.
Specifications: The system operates at frequencies of 230 kHz or 540 kHz, with side scan sonar swath coverage of 450 m and 250 m, respectively. Bathymetric swath coverage is 10-12 times the altitude, with a maximum depth below transducers of 120 m or 50 m. The system features a pulse bandwidth of 24 kHz or 54 kHz and supports both CW and CHIRP pulse modulation.
Features & Benefits: The 4600 offers wide swath bathymetry up to 12 times the water depth, co-registered high-resolution side scan imagery, and compliance with IHO SP-44 standards. It provides a 200º view angle with no nadir gap and superior spatial resolution compared to multibeam echosounders. The system is versatile with multiple mounting options.
Applications: The 4600 is suitable for shallow water hydrographic surveys, benthic habitat mapping, nautical charting, military rapid environmental assessments, route surveys, dredging operations, marine debris search, and port & harbor security.
System Components: The sonar electronics are mounted on a streamlined tow body, deployable over the bow or side of a vessel, or configured for AUV, UUV, or ROV operations. Data is transferred via an Ethernet network interface.
Topside Processor: The processor operates on Windows 7, with a 100 baseT Ethernet and Serial RS-232 interface, dual 21” LCD monitors, and a minimum 1 TB hard drive. Power supply is up to 350 Watts, 115/230 VAC.

SWATH BATHYMETRY & SIDE SCAN SONAR Wide swath bathymetry, up to 12 times water depth Co-registered high resolution side scan imagery IHO SP-44, special order compliant Over 200° view angle, dual array No nadir gap & multipath suppression Better spatial resolution than multibeam echosounders Complete turnkey system Versatile mounting options Shallow Water Hydrographie Surveys Benthic Habitat Mapping Nautical Charting Military Rapid Environmental Route Surveys Dredging Operations Marine Debris Search Port& Harbor Security ill EdgeTech's 4600 is a combined, fully integrated, swath bathymetry and side scan sonar system. The 4600 produces real-time high resolution three dimensional (3D) maps of the seafloor while providing co-registered simultaneous side scan and bathymétrie data. The 4600 uses eight receive element transducers and one discrete transmit element. The high number of channels enables superior rejection of multi-path effects, reverberation and acoustic noise. Utilizing EdgeTech's Full Spectrum® technology, the 4600 meets the IHO SP- 44, NOAAand USACE specifications for feature detection. The Full Spectrum Technology® processing techniques also provide a denser data set in the nadir region compared to other interferometric systems. Near shore and shallow water hydrographie surveys are completed faster and safer utilizing the 4600 due to the wide swath, which is typically more than two times that of existing sonars that rely solely on beam forming techniques. The sonar electronics and arrays for the 4600 are mounted onto a streamlined tow body that is deployed over the bow or over the side of the survey vessel via a pole. Alternatively, the sonar can be used as a towed system or configured for AUV, UUV or ROV operations. Sonar data is transferred from the transceiver to the processing unit on board via an Ethernet network interface. The standard configuration for the 4600 includes an integrated sound velocity sensor and interfaces with standard GPS, MRU, SVP, CTD, Altimeters and Gyros.
