StarFish is a revolutionary, high definition, side
scan sonar which produces near photo-quality
images of the seabed. Built to a unique,
innovative design StarFish is currently the
smallest side scan towfish on the market.
Since the first seabed imaging sonars were
developed, manufacturers have predominantly
focused on a cylindrical or torpedo-shaped
towfish body. Research into underwater
hydronamics has shown that the torpedo-shape
many associate with side scan sonars may not be
the optimum design.
Today we have created a revolutionary, new tow
body challenging these old concepts and
providing several advantages. The compact
design and unique shape dramatically improve
the stability of the sonar and with it the quality of
the seabed images.
The near photo-quality images produced by
StarFish make it an affordable, low-cost side scan
sonar compared to many larger commercial side
scan systems.
The advanced digital CHIRP acoustic techniques
used by StarFish offer better range resolution
compared to conventional fixed-frequency side
scan sonars.
StarFish is truly ‘Plug and Play’ connecting to
your PC or laptop via a USB Port. It out performs
many larger commercial systems, yet the intuitive
software makes it very easy to use.
