Sidescan Sonar

Side scan sonar use acoustical signals to paint a picture of the sea bottom. The sonar consists of a towfish attached to an umbilical cable, which is connected to a monitoring system. The monitoring system interprets information from sensors in the towfish to create a two dimensional profile of the sea floor surface. Items as small as two inches can be detected.
