Klein System 5000 V2 High-Resolution, Dynamically Focused, Multi-Beam Side Scan Sonar

The Klein 5000 was the first commercial sonar system to employ cutting-edge multi-beam, side scan technology. Since its initial release, the system has undergone continuous improvements across all aspects of its technology. Building on its legacy of high-resolution imaging, Klein’s latest innovation is Klein System 5000 V2. With peaked performance and extended range capability, no single beam SSS comes close.

The Reconnaissance Mode employs 16 msec frequency modulated Chirp technology coupled with beam steering and dynamic focusing techniques to provide the new extendedrange capability. This technology not only extends range but also significantly reduces system noise, delivering superior image clarity.

5000 V2 overlaps sonar beams and displays only integral, non-overlapped beams. Regardless of the number of beams displayed, all new data can be stored on the PC hard drive for future processing, as desired.

Klein sonar, using frequency modulated Chirp, yields consistent cross track resolution at all range settings and speeds. Multi-Ping, without Klein technology, sacrifices cross-track resolution. Each additional pulse effectively decreases cross-track resolution by a factor equal to the number of multi-pulses.
