Yes, absolutely! Thanks for the comment. Our products have been installed on a number of catamarans of varying size including government survey vessels and private yachts. We would welcome the chance to learn more about your application at sales@farsounder.com
Excellent question Jeff! With two sensors angled properly you could get quite a large FOV. It would not be 100% out of the box solution to install and incorporate data from two sensors. However, in the past we have installed sensors on both the bow and stern and combined the data, so it is possible. We would love to learn more about your application and talk about the details. If you are interested, please reach out (sales@farsounder.com) or let us know how to contact you.
Thank you for your question! Yes, our systems detect navigational hazards from the surface down to the seafloor out to a maximum range that depends on the model of the product. The Argos 350, Argos 500, and Argos 1000 have maximum detection ranges of 350 meters, 500 meters, and 1000 meters respectively. We would be happy to learn more about your specific application, please reach out to sales@farsounder.com for more info.
I think machine learning (AI) could potentially greatly increase the resolution and quality of the 3d image from sonar. Especially if you can combine several sonar emitters or receivers at different locations with different frequencies. Just look at animals like bats and dolphins.
Absolutely amazing! Can these be used on catamarans?

Could I mount two units; combining the swaths and increasing the fov?

Can Farsounder show what objects there is from the water surface and down. Other vessels, floating containers, ice, whales, and so on ?

Thanks for the suggestion and your interest! That's right and we've done some proof of concept work in the past with ML models. Stay tuned!
