Kongsberg Flexview Multibeam Sonar
The Flexview, Kongsberg Mesotech’s latest advancement in multibeam sonar technology, is designed specifically for small observation-class ROVs where compact size and light weight are key selection criteria.
Delivering superior image quality and coverage, the Flexview sonar provides high-quality, distortion-free images at a range of up to 100 m over a 140° sector, reducing the time it takes to search for and locate targets.
The Flexview’s removable transducer is the first of its kind, offering field replacement of a damaged transducer in the unlikely event of a catastrophic impact. It also allows for potential new transducer configurations to be exchanged in the future, depending on the job being performed.
