This is the case, for example, with lateral sonar ( side-scan sonar ), an acoustic antenna towed a few meters away from the seabed.

They are carrying out 3 surveys onboard the Panopée (the school’s hydrographic survey vessel), one with the help of a multibeam sonar, another with a single beam sonar and another with a sidescan sonar.

June 2: Depart Deep Creek on Lake Laberge and travel to Goddard Point where a sidescan sonar was deployed.

Sonar operator Garry Kozak said he spotted the 252-foot submarine during the second of an exhausting two days of searching.

Action 2: Mapping selected key habitats with conventional methods (transects, aerial photos) key habitats and / or innovative (satellite imagery and side-scan sonar)

Recent sonar data indicate the seaplane is in good condition and that human remains may be found.

The lateral sonar is often associated with a magnetometer which makes it possible to detect magnetic anomalies, possibly caused by the metallic masses of a wreck.

The AUV A18-M integrates the Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) and has very high area coverage rate, of the order of 2km2/hr which represents between 5 and 10 times more than that of a conventional side-looking sonar on an AUV.

The AUV A18-M integrates the Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) for very high area coverage rate of 2km2/hr (which is 5 and 10 times more than that of a conventional side-looking sonar on an AUV).

When you want to map beyond 300 or 400 meters deep, the side sonar is installed on an autonomous robot called AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle).
