Edo Western Corporation is supplying several long range scanning sonars to the U.S. Navy Oceanographic Office for use on survey ships. The Model 378 scanning sonar will provide obstacle avoidance information over a maximum range of 4,000 yards and will also be employed in search missions for locating lost or sunken objects. Configured from Standard Edo Western components and utilizing a time tested transducer, the Model 378 offers maximum reliability. In addition, its modular construction provides ease of service and a unique flexibility for variable operating parameters or interface with other equipments.
The Model 248A transceiver and the Model 333 precision bathymetric recorder, fundamental building blocks of this system, are standard instruments on many navy ships and this redundancy will greatly ease the logistics problem of spares for many varied equipments.
This new scanning sonar is now available for commercial sale and literature is available on request from Edo Western Corporation, 2645 South 2nd West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115.
