Edgetech for USACE

International Industries Inc. and EdgeTech Marine, USA, have taken orders for model 4125 side-scan sonar this month from two US Army Corps of Engineers Districts. The Seattle, Washington District and the Norfolk, Virginia District have both determined that the model 4125 is just what they need and have ordered them for delivery.

 

These systems bring a new wave of expertise into the USACE Hydrographic efforts for high frequency, shallow water. The EdgeTech side-scan sonar provide a unique advantage over the conventional, heavy weight, deep side-scan sonar by combining EdgeTechs' very high frequency with simultaneous dual frequency recording technologies into a very light weight unit.

 

EdgeTech engineering has produced many new side-scan sonar of late including the 4125 (400/1250 kHz) low cost, digital telemetry system for harbour security and Search & Rescue (SAR); and the 4700-DFX Focused Multi-pulse side-scan sonar. These sonar are expected to be utilised by a large portion of the industry worldwide.
