Tritech Gemini 720ik Multibeam Imaging Sonar
Tritech Gemini 720ik Multibeam Imaging Sonar, Shallow water navigation, obstacle avoidance and target inspection
Tritech Gemini 720ik Multibeam Imaging Sonar, Shallow water navigation, obstacle avoidance and target inspection
The Gemini 720ik is a real-time, high-frequency multibeam imaging sonar. Utilising Tritech’s advanced processing electronics, at 1m range the sonar offers a world-class 97Hz update rate to produce high-quality, video-like imagery. This compact multibeam imaging sonar has been specifically developed for shallow water operations; with low power consumption and Compressed High-Intensity Radar Pulse (CHIRP) processing for greater definition at long range.
The Gemini 720ik is a shallow rated version of the industry recognised Gemini 720is, offering the same imaging performance as the Gemini 720is but in a more compact package. The smaller and lighter Gemini 720ik is ideal for small ROVs and shallow water operation where size and weight is critically important.

A real-time, high frequency imaging solution, the Gemini 720ik operates at 720kHz and combined with Tritech’s advanced processing electronics, it produces images of outstanding clarity, benefitting from 512 beams which results in a 0.25° effective angular resolution. The Gemini 720ik has been developed specifically for shallow water operations with low power consumption and Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse (CHIRP) processing for greater definition at long range. The product also has an integrated Velocity of Sound (VoS) sensor to ensure extremely accurate imaging and measurement.
The Gemini 720ik is supplied with Genesis, Tritech’s data acquisition and logging software, which offers users the ability to operate a number of Tritech sensors using this single software program.
