Impact Subsea ISS360 Series High-Performance Imaging Sonar

The World's Most Compact 360° Scanning Sonar, Providing High-Definition Underwater Vision

The Impact Subsea ISS360 Series is the world's most compact line of high-performance imaging sonars, comprising two models: the ISS360 (Standard) and the ISS360HD (High-Resolution). This series is renowned for its extremely small size, deep-water capability, and exceptional image quality, fundamentally changing underwater detection and navigation methods.

The ISS360 series utilizes a wideband composite transducer combined with advanced IS³ signal processing technology. Through advanced phase modulation and coding techniques, it delivers excellent signal integrity, timing accuracy, and range resolution. The products are available with depth ratings of 4000 meters and 6000 meters, and optionally integrate a high-precision pitch & roll sensor for attitude-compensated imaging. Its slip-ring-free design ensures reliability with no moving parts. The ISS360HD model further enhances horizontal resolution and maximum range compared to the standard version, making it an ideal choice for applications demanding the utmost image detail.
