Product catalog summary
Features & Benefits:
  • Utilizes next-generation Multi-Phase Echo Sounder (MPES) technology for superior swath coverage in shallow waters compared to single head systems.
  • Offers co-registered dual frequency side scan and single frequency bathymetry with full nadir coverage.
  • Complies with IHO SP-44 Special Order standards and provides swath sectors up to 200°.
  • Includes EdgeTech’s Discover Bathymetric Sonar Control Software and is motion tolerant.
Applications:
  • Ideal 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.
Options:
  • Available in several frequency configurations: 550/1600 kHz, 550/850 kHz, 230/550 kHz with modular design allowing multi-frequency bathymetry options.
System Overview:
  • The EdgeTech 6205s integrates swath bathymetry and dual frequency side scan sonar, producing high-resolution imagery and 3D maps of the seafloor.
  • Overcomes limitations of Multi Beam Echo Sounders (MBES) and Interferometric systems in shallow water using MPES technology.
  • Features lightweight design suitable for shallow water applications and vessels of opportunity.
  • Standard configuration includes an integrated Sound Velocity Sensor and interfaces with most third-party software and standard GPS, MRU, SVP, Gyros, and INS.
Key Specifications:
  • Bathymetry: Sonar frequencies of 230 kHz and 550 kHz, optimal operating depths of <100 m and <50 m, max swath width of 400 m and 200 m, and max number of soundings at 800.
  • Side Scan Sonar Imagery: Frequencies range from 230 kHz to 1600 kHz with varying horizontal beamwidths and range resolutions.
  • System: Features CW & FM CHIRP pulse modulation, up to 60 Hz ping rate, polycarbonate/316 stainless steel construction, and a depth rating of 50 m.
  • Includes Windows-based software for bathymetric acquisition and sonar control, providing bathymetry, backscatter, side scan imagery, and real-time uncertainties.

6205 NEXT GENERATION SWATH BATHYMETRY & SIDE SCAN SONAR-1

6205 S NEXT GENERATION SWATH BATHYMETRY & SIDE SCAN SONAR FEATURES & BENEFITS • Next generation MPES technology • Unrivaled swath coverage in shallow water when compared to other single head systems • Co-registered dual frequency side scan and single frequency bathymetry with full nadir coverage • Superior multipath rejection • IHO SP-44 Special Order compliant • Swath sectors of up to 200° • Equidistant and Equiangle output options • Comes with EdgeTech’s Discover • Bathymetric Sonar Control Software • Motion Tolerant Side Scan • Universal MRU mounting plate APPLICATIONS • Shallow Water Hydrographic Surveys • Benthic Habitat Mapping • Nautical Charting • Military Rapid Environmental Assessments (REA) • Route Surveys • Dredging Operations • Marine Debris Search • Port & Harbor Security s The 6205 is available in several standard frequency configurations: • 550 / 1600 kHz (Dual Frequency Side Scan with 550 kHz bathymetry data) • 550 / 850 kHz (Dual Frequency Side Scan with 550 kHz bathymetry data) • 230 / 550 kHz (Dual Frequency Side Scan with 550 kHz bathymetry data) • 230 / 550 kHz (Dual Frequency Side Scan with 230 kHz bathymetry data) s The modular design of the 6205 also allows for multi-frequency bathymetry options in a single sonar head. The field exchangeable array capability allows both shallow and deep water operations. The EdgeTech 6205 is a fully integrated Swath Bathymetry and Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar System that produces real time, high resolution, side s scan imagery and three-dimensional maps of the seafloor. The 6205 overcomes the limitations of Multi Beam Echo Sounders (MBES) and Interferometric systems in shallow water by using EdgeTech’s unique Multi-Phase Echo Sounder (MPES) technology. This Hybrid approach combines both Beamforming and Phase Discrimination techniques to determine each sounding along the seafloor. With the s integration of EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology, the 6205 exceeds IHO SP-44, NOAA, and USACE specifications for Feature Detection and Bathymetric Point Data Uncertainty. s EdgeTech’s MPES technology enables the 6205 to produce wider and cleaner swath (over 200º) than current technologies, resulting in superior coverage s enabling faster and safer survey completion. At the same time, the 6205 rejects multipath effects, reverberation, and acoustic noise commonly encountered in shallow water environments. Additionally, EdgeTech’s latest 2205 Electronics and Modular Arrays are utilized s in the 6205 , resulting in an extremely lightweight design, which is required for shallow water applications and vessels of opportunity. s The standard configuration for the 6205 includes an integrated Sound Velocity Sensor, and interfaces to most Third-Party acquisition and processing software packages, as well as to standard GPS, MRU, SVP, Gyros, and INS.
