Imaging
Imaging applications provide long-range detection for monitoring and navigation.
Description
Imaging applications use the highest pulse power. They use pulse durations to get reliable long-range detection. The trade-off is a reduction in the ping rate, partially due to the long range, and partially to maintain power consumption within reasonable limits.
We recommend a maximum vessel speed of five knots for imaging applications.
