Sub-Bottom Sonar: The 2300 system has enhanced sub-bottom profiling capabilities with multiple low-

frequency transducers and a PVDF receiver. The system mounts multiple transmit transducers in a 4 x 1-

10 kHz configuration that provides improved directionality and the ability to focus power where needed.

200-Watt amplifiers drive each transducer and utilize wideband, Gaussian, and optional quadratic pulses

that emphasize the lower end of the frequency spectrum over a wideband pulse. The PVDF receive panel

provides 2D directionality and improved sensitivity over simple line arrays.

Swath Bathymetry Option: MPES bathymetry is available on the platform. The Multi-Phase Echo Sounder

(MPES) produces real-time, high-resolution, three-dimensional (3D) maps of the seafloor while providing

co-registered simultaneous dual-frequency side scan imagery.
