Starfish 990-F Towed

High resolution StarFish side scan sonar for extreme image definition and target detection. Based on the popular and proven 450F design, the StarFish 990F uses high-frequency 1 MHz CHIRP (Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse) acoustic pulses with a 0.3° horizontal beamwidth to produce the sharpest, clearest images of any StarFish system.

With a range capability of 35m on each channel (for a total swath coverage of 70m), the StarFish 990F is the ideal tool:

• For high-resolution studies in ports.
• Academic research.
• Inland waterways such as rivers and canals,
• Excels when used for SAR (Search and Recovery/Rescue Operations).

The compact and hydrodynamic full-body three-fin design improves sonar stability while towed, which in turn helps improve the quality of the images it produces. The sonar also incorporates an in-line connector to allow the cable to be swapped or replaced on site. Additional cable lengths are also available to help you choose the best towing solution for your needs.

Compact and portable at less than 15 inches long, the StarFish 990F sonar is small enough to fit in your backpack. Lightweight and quick to deploy by hand, the 990F towed system is vessel-independent and requires no fixed installation, making it easy to transport and operate from any vessel.
