Ping DSP | GEOHYDROCEAN

3DSS™, where bathymetry meets 3D imagery.

A ground-breaking sonar that provides extended range coherent side scan,
IHO Exclusive Order swath bathymetry, and stunning 3D point clouds.
High-resolution underwater imaging and mapping has never been easier or more affordable.

3DSS-iDX incorporates a patented signal processing methodology that extends the single angle-of-arrival principle used in interferometric systems to accommodate multiple simultaneous backscatter arrivals (e.g. the seabed, sea surface, water-column, and multipath). The result is superior wide swath bathymetry and true 3D side scan imaging and from a compact, easy-to-use sonar.

The iDX-450 integrates SVT and MRU sensors into the sonar head for turnkey operation. A Universal Sonar Interface Unit provides ultra-portable, easy operation with just a laptop and a battery or easy interface to external MRU, GNSS and INS systems on a fully equipped survey launch or ASV.
