Chapter 1: Overview; Main Features - Klein 4000 Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

CHAPTER 1: O
The Series 4000 Sonar System is a dual simultaneous frequency, very high
resolution, long range side scan sonar system that is ideally suited for search and
recovery (SAR) missions and surveys requiring high accuracy in shallow or deep
water environments. The system employs operator selectable chirp and continuous
wave (CW) technologies, which when coupled with KMS proprietary display
algorithms, provides extraordinary seafloor images. In addition, rugged
construction, low weight and simple setup enables operation from large or small
vessels.
