Automatic profiling of the water column
The ScanFish Konia will constantly undulate, profiling the water column in a V-curved path at a steady velocity.
Automatic profiling of the water column
Motion, pressure and altitude sensors enable the intelligent ScanFish Konia to constantly undulate, profiling the water column in a V-curved path at a steady velocity.
This translates to highly accurate sound velocity profiling through even data acquisition, thereby ensuring an optimal base for the MBE data.

User-friendly control and monitoring software solution
All ScanFish models come with the ScanFish III Flight software, which is an easy-to-use software system allowing for control and monitoring of the ROTV.
User-friendly control and monitoring software solution
All ScanFish models come with the ScanFish III Flight software, which is an easy-to-use software system allowing for control and monitoring of the ROTV.
Controlling the ROTV's movements in ScanFish III Flight software
Only a minimum of training is required to prepare the crew to operate the ROTV, which means you will be ready to set sail within a short period of time. Moreover, there is no risk of wasting time on difficulties resulting from a complicated software user interface.
Via the intuitive interface of ScanFish III Flight, you are in complete control of the position of the ROTV by defining its height compared to the seabed. At the same time, you can monitor its position in the water, and an alert panel will warn you of any irregularities.
ScanFish III Flight in action
On-site calibration
A pre-flight feature allows for testing and calibration of the ScanFish ROTV on-site prior to deployment, promising you the highest possible performance and data quality.
Recording of flight data
Acquired ROTV data can be analysed by means of a flight recording feature. It enables you to play back all flights and, for example, quickly locate the cause of any irregularities, thus enhancing the quality of your results and saving survey time.
Automatic control of winch
ScanFish III Flight can be set up to control the winch towing the ScanFish ROTV, thereby ensuring an optimal cable length adjusted to the movements of the ROTV. This is especially relevant for the ScanFish Konia and ScanFish Rocio models.

Robust product with a long service life
The practical design of the ScanFish III models makes them so robust that they can be deployed in rough weather.
Robust product with a long service life
Quality materials and easily replaced wear parts characterise the ScanFish III range and contribute to a high ROI through a long service life
The practical design of the ScanFish III models makes them so robust that they can be deployed in rough weather. This saves time as the risk of downtime is vastly reduced. Two side plates with bars, which also function as handles, protect the body and facilitate handling, thus reducing the risks posed to the ROTV in the water and ensuring the safety of the crew during deployment and recovery.
