Overview
The V7 Super SeaKing DST mechanical scanning sonar offers enhanced performance and the option of Ethernet
communication for high speed scanning over short ranges. Retaining dual frequency capability, the Super
SeaKing DST can achieve 300m range at 325kHz, with increased image intensity and with improved mid-water
target discrimination capability at 675kHz.
The SeaKing is further enhanced with a software controlled power isolation switch for Auxiliary Port output.
Ideally suited for ROV/AUV obstacle avoidance, target recognition and harbour surveillance, the Super SeaKing
DST can be supplied to operate down to 4000m or 6800m. Aluminium and Titanium housings are available as
well as a number of connector options.
The default configuration of the Super SeaKing DST utilises Tritech’s propriety connector, upgraded to provide
Ethernet communication capability while retaining all of the benefits of this industry recognised connector.
With the option of Ethernet, ARCNET, RS232 and RS485 communications, the Super SeaKing DST is simple to
install on ROV/AUVs of all types. Utilising the latest electronics and composite transducer technology the Super
SeaKing DST provides increased target definition at all ranges. This market leading product continues to deliver
the clearest image available by utilising Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse (CHIRP) technology, a technology
that helped define the Super SeaKing DST as the preferred mechanical scanning sonar.
CHIRP technology dramatically improves the range resolution, providing greater definition at long range,
compared with conventional sonars. Resolution can be improved by a factor of five times.
The Super SeaKing DST is the standard obstacle avoidance sonar for many global ROV fleets. A modular transducer
design, long life slip ring assembly and the use of the latest electronics ensures the Super SeaKing DST maintains
its reputation for providing exceptional reliability.
