UAC-500F   

Multi-beam Forward-Looking Sonar 500kHz

The UAC-500F forward-looking sonar adopts multi-beam imaging technology to achieve real-time high-resolution imaging of suspended objects or obstacles in the water ahead of the sonar. Boasting a compact size and highly integrated design, the product features fully independent and controllable software and hardware. It is suitable for meeting the navigation support or target detection needs of small and medium-sized underwater vehicles.
