BlueView M900 Mk2: High-Resolution 2D Imaging Sonar

The Industry Workhorse for ROV Navigation and Object Detection

Product Overview 

The Teledyne BlueView M900 Mk2 is the most widely used 2D multibeam imaging sonar in the M-Series lineup. Operating at 900 kHz, it strikes the perfect balance between high-resolution detail and meaningful range. It is the primary tool for ROV pilots navigating in turbid (zero-visibility) water, allowing them to "see" structures, debris, and targets in real-time.

The Mk2 generation introduced a critical hardware upgrade: the open nose cone design. By removing the material between the transducers and the water, Teledyne eliminated acoustic artifacts and signal loss, resulting in significantly cleaner, more "video-like" imagery compared to the original M900.

  • Video-Like Imagery: Provides high-speed updates (up to 25Hz) that allow for smooth navigation and target tracking, even when the ROV is in high-speed transit.
  • 130° Wide Field of View: Offers excellent situational awareness, enabling pilots to see obstacles and targets well outside their optical camera's range.
  • Motion-Immune Data: Advanced internal processing ensures the image remains crisp and stable regardless of the platform's movement (pitch/roll).
  • Deep Water Options: Available in a standard 1,000m aluminum housing or a 6,000m titanium housing for deep-sea exploration and research.
  • Low Power Consumption: At only 20W, it can be integrated into the smallest inspection-class ROVs without taxing the vehicle’s power system.
