DeepEye DE3468D
DeepEye DE3468D
A dual-frequency side-scan sonar combining 340 and 680 kHz channels. The lower-frequency channel supports broader seabed coverage, while the higher-frequency channel is suited to closer inspection and habitat work.

Deployment
The current DeepEye family can be used with a manual cable drum or a winch. Deep Vision describes practical deployment to about 60 m with its standard cable arrangement and towards 100 m with a winch. These deployment figures are distinct from the historical towfish pressure rating below.
