Sea Scan® ARC Hunter

150kHz – 1800kHz| Ultra-long Range| 300m Towed Depth

The ARC Hunter heavy-duty towed system is designed to address the demanding requirements of deep-water survey operations.  Hunter’s low frequency Adaptive CHIRP Technology enables industry leading range performance, while maintaining Marine Sonic Technology’s high-resolution image quality.  The adaptive CHIRP technology provides the highest imaging quality possible from a side scan sonar and supports ranges up to 60% greater than non-CHIRP systems.  Developed around this technology, Hunter towed systems achieve ranges beyond 500 meters per side and reaching at least 1000m in swath width under real-world conditions.

• The heavy and highly stable Hunter tow body supports various towing configurations and is available in a rugged stainless-steel or aluminum configuration;
• Every Hunter System includes a portable watertight topside processor, ruggedized laptop and a 30m to 500m tow cable;
• Customer-specific lightweight Kevlar or armored tow cables as well as heavy and light duty winch options provide additional flexibility to satisfy your unique demands and simplified cable management on variable sized platforms.

Should your mission require specialized sonar equipment, Marine Sonic Technology offers customized tow body and sonar designs, platform integration services, and operator training.

• Hunter towed systems come standard with a single 150kHz or dual 300kHz / 900kHz frequency module;
• A high frequency module of up to 1800kHz can be added.

The extensive range of the low frequency in conjunction with the ultra-high resolution of the high frequency module transform Hunter into the ideal all-rounder for target location and identification using the same sonar equipment.  Like all Marine Sonic Technology products, the ARC Hunter comes with the user-friendly and self-explanatory Sea Scan Survey acquisition and review software.
