Know before you buy
Unlike mechanical sonars that rely on slow, rotating sweeps, the Omniscan 450 FS builds images dynamically as your ROV moves. This allows for real-time navigation and immediate focus on targets without waiting for a full sweep cycle.
Yes, the Omniscan 450 FS is specifically designed for seamless integration with the BlueROV2 platform. It includes the necessary mounting bracket and supports standard 100Base-T Ethernet connectivity.
The sonar features a maximum detection range of 120 meters. Its 50-degree vertical beamwidth provides a wide field of view, making it highly effective for spotting targets at a distance.
The unit is rated for a maximum depth of 100 meters (approximately 328 feet). It is best suited for coastal, harbor, or shallow-water wreck hunting rather than deep-ocean operations.
The Omniscan 450 FS is fully compatible with SonarView software. This interface allows you to process the incoming data streams and manage the dynamic imaging features during your dive.
Yes, the system supports 2D motion tracking when integrated with a DVL (Doppler Velocity Log). This combination helps maintain precise positioning and navigation in complex underwater environments.
