Model 3DSS-DX-450-AUV -Auv Integration Package
The 3DSS-DX-450 AUV integration package is a flexible, compact dual transducer sonar package configurable to unmanned platforms requiring high resolution 3D imagery. 3DSS-DX-450-AUV incorporates a patented signal processing methodology that extends the single angle-of-arrival principle used in interferometric systems to accommodate multiple simultaneous backscatter arrivals (e.g. the seabed, sea surface, water-column, and multipath). The result is superior wide swath bathymetry and true 3D sidescan imaging and from a compact, easy-to-use sonar. The DX-450-AUV provides multi-angle imaging to unmanned platforms over ultra-wide swath. Low logistics operation and low power requirements make the 3DSS-DX-450 AUV package the perfect sonar to provide wide swath 3D imagery on unmanned platforms from the surf zone to 4km below the surface.
- Compact, Low Power, easy-to-use. Suitable for ASV and AUV applications.
- 4000m Depth Rating.
- Simultaneous 3D Side-scan, 2D Side-scan, and Bathymetry data outputs.
- Proven Bathymetry Accuracy and Repeatability (IHO Exclusive Order).
- High Resolution True 3D Imagery.
- Real-time 3D point cloud display and target capture software.
- Wide swath coverage, up to 14 times water depth.
- Patented processing techniques as well as beamforming eliminates multipath over complex bottoms and wide swaths.
- Support for 3rd party hydrographic survey hardware and software.
- Autonomous Hydrographic Surveys
- Habitat Mapping
- IED Mine-hunting (MCM) Detection
- Port & Harbor Security
- Marine Debris Search
- Subsea structure surveying / inspection
- Dredging Operations

- Tailings Pond Surveys
Bundled with the 3DSS-DX-450-AUV is a feature-rich software suite allowing users to take full advantage of the sensors capabilities without additional third-party software. Some of the features provided include:
- Raw-data visualization in both high-resolution 3D point cloud and traditional 2D sidescan formats.
- Full control over sonar operating parameters including range, transmit pulse, gain settings, and more.
- Raw-data recording for future playback or post processing in third party applications.
- Bathymetric chart display overlaying pitch-corrected bathymetry onto a user provided navigational chart.
- Target-capture and measurement capabilities.
The 3DSS-DX-450-AUV is also compatible with popular third-party applications such as Hypack, SonarWiz, CARIS, and QINSy.
