Single Beam Echosounders
Echosounders are a great way to map the subsurface of a water body. Single beam varieties of this instrument are a cost-effective way to generate a map of the subsurface through a dataset of point depths taken along a survey track. The Blue Robotics Ping is depth rated and can be used on USVs or underwater on an ROV.
​
A single beam echosounder is the place to start for a simple and economical way to generate a map of your subsurface or keep track of depths with your ROV missions. Look at the Blue Robotics option for a simple integration into your custom build.
Ping
The Ping Sonar is a multipurpose single beam echosounder. It can be used as an altimeter for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), for bathymetry work aboard a USV, obstacle avoidance on autonomous vehicles, and other underwater distance measurement applications.
The Ping Sonar combines a compact form factor and 300 meter depth rating with an open-source software to create a powerful new tool for marine robotics!
