Edgetech 2400: Deep Towed

The Ultimate 6,000m Solution for Fully Integrated Deep-Ocean Mapping

Product Overview

The EdgeTech 2400 Series is a fully integrated, turnkey deep-tow system designed for high-resolution mapping of the seafloor and sub-surface stratigraphy in extreme depths. Engineered for operations down to 6,000 meters, the 2400 Series represents EdgeTech’s most capable combined platform, bringing together Dual Simultaneous Side Scan Sonar, Wideband Sub-Bottom Profiling, and optional Wide Swath Bathymetry into a single, modular tow vehicle.

Utilizing a "slab-construction" frame made of specialized high-density plastic and stainless steel, the DT-2 towfish is virtually maintenance-free and highly resistant to the rigors of deep-ocean mobilization. By employing Full Spectrum® CHIRP processing across all acoustic sensors, the system delivers unmatched signal-to-noise ratios, allowing for wider swaths and deeper penetration than conventional deep-water systems.

Why Choose the EdgeTech 2400 Deep Towed?

• The 6,000m Standard: Specifically designed for the ultra-deepwater market, the 2400 is the industry’s trusted tool for geohazard surveys and mineral exploration in the deepest parts of the world's oceans.
• Fully Customizable Payload: The 2400 is a modular "science platform." Users can choose from multiple side scan and sub-bottom frequency pairs to match their specific mission requirements.
• Plug 'n' Tow™ Integration: Features factory-tested interfaces for a wide array of auxiliary sensors. Whether you need to integrate a Magnetometer, USBL Responder, CTD, or Motion Sensor, the 2400 acts as a central digital hub.
• Digital Telemetry Over Long Cables: Employs high-speed digital telemetry capable of running over 10km of coaxial or fiber-optic tow cable without signal loss or data degradation.
• Co-Registered Data Streams: Side scan, sub-bottom, and bathymetry data are perfectly synchronized and georeferenced, providing a complete 3D picture of the subsea environment in a single pass.
