Far Sounder Navigation Sonars
Forward Looking Navigation Sonars
Intuitive 3D Display
FarSounder's navigation systems are the only products capable of generating a true, 3-dimensional image ahead of a vessel at navigationally significant ranges. They've worked hard to develop an easy to understand user interface.
Nothing is more clear than a real-time picture of what is underwater ahead of you. See more examples in the Screen Shots Gallery.
Fixed Installation
No moving parts means easy integration into the hull without complicated maintenance headaches. There is no hydraulic hoist so you don't need to give up valuable space inside the vessel.
The installation design is suitable for vessels with or without a bulb on both refit and new-builds.
Installation Gallery
Installation of FarSounder 3D sonars is straightforward. FarSounder's customers have installed systems on steel, aluminum, and composite hulls. Installation is possible for both new builds as well as refits. To date, FarSounder's sonars are installed on vessels between 60 feet (20 meters) and 650 feet (200 meters) in length. Here are some examples of various installations.

Fast Update Rate
Phased array technology enables FarSounder's sonars to generate the entire 3D image with a single ping.
Unlike scanning sonars, there is no need to wait for a sweep to complete before displaying the image.
