OVERVIEW
The EdgeTech 6205s is a fully integrated swath bathymetry and dual-frequency side-scan sonar system
that uses multiple receive elements and one discrete transmit element to produces real-time high
resolution, side-scan imagery and three-dimensional maps of the seafloor. The 6205s overcomes the
limitations of multi-beam echo sounders (MBES) and interferometric systems in shallow water using
EdgeTech’s unique Multi-Phase Echo Sounder (MPES) Technology. This hybrid approach combines both
beamforming and phase discrimination techniques to determine each sounding along the seafloor. With
the integration of EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® CHIRP technology, the 6205s exceeds IHO SP-44, NOAA, and
USACE specifications for feature detection and bathymetric point data uncertainty.
EdgeTech’s MPES technology enables the 6205s to produce a wider and cleaner swath (over 200º) than
current technologies, resulting in superior coverage enabling faster and safer survey completion. The
6205s concurrently rejects multipath effects, reverberation, and acoustic noise commonly encountered
in shallow water environments.
The 6205s provides dual frequency side scan sonar, operating at 230/550 kHz, 550/850kHz, or 550/1600
kHz, while the side scan imagery is collected simultaneously on both frequencies. The bathymetry
operates at either 230kHz or 550kHz.
Additionally, EdgeTech’s latest 2205 Electronics and Modular Arrays are utilized in the 6205s, resulting in
an extremely lightweight design required for shallow water applications and vessels of opportunity. The
2205 electronics and arrays are mounted onto a streamlined body that is deployed over-the-bow or side
of a survey vessel. Sonar data is transferred from the transceiver to the processing unit onboard via an
Ethernet network interface.
The standard configuration for the 6205s includes an integrated sound velocity sensor. It provides
interfaces to most third-party acquisition and processing software packages, standard DGPS/RTK GNSS
systems, heading, motion, sound velocity profilers, and INS. The 6205s system and its available
integrations offer a powerful and versatile acquisition system suitable for many different survey
applications.
