Edgetech 2300: Combined Side Scan Sonar, Bathymetry & Sub-bottom System

Fully Integrated Side Scan, Sub-Bottom, and MPES Bathymetry for Deep Water

Product Overview

The EdgeTech 2300 is a highly integrated, turnkey survey platform that combines EdgeTech’s proven side scan sonar and sub-bottom profiling technologies into a single deep-water vehicle. For surveyors requiring 3D seafloor mapping, the 2300B variant incorporates Multi-Phase Echo Sounder (MPES) bathymetry, producing co-registered 3D maps alongside dual-frequency side scan imagery.

Designed for operations down to 3,000 meters, the 2300 series utilizes Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology to deliver superior resolution and penetration. Its enhanced sub-bottom capabilities—including the option for up to four low-frequency transducers—make it the industry’s most powerful mid-to-deep-water "all-in-one" solution for complex geophysical and construction surveys.

Why Choose the EdgeTech 2300/2300B?

• Triple-Sensor Integration: Collect Side Scan, Sub-Bottom, and (optionally) Bathymetry data simultaneously in a single pass, significantly reducing vessel time and mobilization costs.
• Tri-Frequency Side Scan: Features a tri-frequency electronics suite (e.g., 120/410/850 kHz), allowing the operator to select and operate any two frequencies simultaneously to balance range and detail.
• Deep Penetration Sub-Bottom: Includes the DW-106 (1–10 kHz) system with up to four transducers and a large PVDF hydrophone array. This setup provides exceptional directivity and receive sensitivity, achieving up to 200m of penetration in soft sediments.
• Co-Registered MPES Bathymetry: The 2300B provides wide-swath bathymetry (up to 200° swath) that is perfectly aligned with the side scan data, ensuring 100% confidence in target georeferencing and bottom slope correction.
• Advanced Telemetry: Uses high-speed digital telemetry over a single coaxial tow cable (up to 6,000m length) or fiber-optic cable for maximum bandwidth.
