TRITECH STARFISH 990F XD SYSTEM

The StarFish range has gained worldwide recognition as the most compact, affordable, towed side scan sonars for the professional underwater survey industry. The full-body, three-fin, hydrodynamic design of the StarFish systems challenge the common cylindrical or torpedo-shape of traditional side scan sonars. The unique shape of the StarFish systems dramatically improves the stability of the sonar and consequently the quality of the images it produces. Furthermore, the advanced digital CHIRP (Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse) acoustic techniques used by StarFish systems offer better range resolution compared to conventional, fixed-frequency side scan sonars.

Building on the success of the original StarFish 450F, the StarFish 990F is the ultimate high-resolution side scan sonar for extreme image definition and target detection. The sonar uses a high frequency 1MHz CHIRP transmission with extremely narrow horizontal acoustic beam to provide the sharpest, most defined images. With 35m range capability on each channel (70m total swathe coverage), the sonar is ideal for high-resolution survey in ports and harbours, inland waterways such as rivers and canals and excels when used for SAR (Search And Recovery/Rescue) operations. The sonar also has an inline connector to allow the cable to be swapped or replaced on site. Existing owners of StarFish 450F and 450H systems can upgrade to the StarFish 990F, should they desire higher definition sonar imagery.

Based on the popular 450F design, the StarFish 452F brings even higher definition imagery to your PC. With half the horizontal beam angle of 450F(for twice the resolution) and our advanced digital CHIRP acoustic technology developed from the professional underwater survey industry, StarFish 452F produces crisper and cleaner imagery at ranges of up to 100 metres on each channel (200m total swathe coverage). It competes with many larger commercial systems produces spectacular images of the seabed, and includes intuitive software with a variety of data export options.

TRITECH STARFISH 990F XD SYSTEM FEATURES:
High definition 1MHz CHIRP operation, towed StarFish ideal for survey and Search And Rescue applications.

  • Stable full-length tri-fin design
  • Simple setup and operation
  • 1MHz CHIRP operation
  • Up to a 70m swathe coverage
  • Horizontal beam width of 0.3°
  • Simple, intuitive operator software

Outstanding Performance
Based on the popular 450F design, the StarFish 452F brings even higher definition imagery to your PC. With half the horizontal beam angle of 450F(for twice the resolution) and our advanced digital CHIRP acoustic technology developed from the professional underwater survey industry, StarFish 452F produces crisper and cleaner imagery at ranges of up to 100 metres on each channel (200m total swathe coverage). It competes with many larger commercial systems produces spectacular images of the seabed, and includes intuitive software with a variety of data export options.

Portable System
Measuring less than 15 inches long the StarFish 452F sonar is small enough to be transported in your rucksack. Lightweight and quick to deploy by hand, the 452F towed system is independent of the boat requiring no fixed installation which makes it easy to transport and operate from any vessel. The StarFish Peli Case provides a rugged and watertight method for transporting and storing your StarFish system.

Advanced Design
The compact hydrodynamic full body three-fin design improves stability of the sonar while it’s being towed which in-turn helps improve the quality of images it produces. The sonar also incorporates an inline connector to allow the cable to be swapped or replaced on site. Additional cable lengths are also available to help you choose the best towing solution for your needs. Designed to be 'Plug and Play', connecting to your Windows PC or laptop via a USB connection, the StarFish 452F comes with software to allow the capture and recording real-time images from the seafloor below, making seabed imaging easy for everyone.
