BlueView M450 Mk2

The "High-Visibility" Solution for Deep and Turbid Waters

Product Overview 

The Teledyne BlueView M450 Mk2 is a compact, high-performance 2D multibeam imaging sonar designed specifically for long-range underwater detection and navigation. Operating at 450 kHz, it occupies the "long-range" slot in the M-Series lineup, providing a significant boost in distance over the higher-frequency M900 models while maintaining a wide 130° field of view.

The Mk2 generation features a unique open nose cone design, which eliminates the acoustic losses associated with traditional oil-filled or solid-capped sonars. This results in crisper, "video-like" imagery with improved range performance, even in zero-visibility conditions or dynamic environments.

  • Exceptional Range: Capable of detecting objects up to 300 meters away, with an optimum imaging range of 2–150 meters.
  • Open Nose Cone: Designed for maximum acoustic transparency, delivering the cleanest possible data for target identification.
  • Motion-Immune Imagery: Advanced signal processing ensures the sonar image remains stable even when the ROV or vessel is pitching, rolling, or moving at speed.
  • Wide 130° FOV: Provides high situational awareness, allowing operators to see "corner to corner" in narrow channels or during search-and-recovery patterns.
  • Compact & Low Power: Drawing only 24W, it is ideal for battery-sensitive platforms like smaller inspection ROVs and AUVs.
  • Dual Depth Options: Available in a standard 1,000m (aluminum) or deep-water 6,000m (titanium) housing.
