Kongsberg Maritime Clariscan

Clariscan combines Kongsberg Mesotech’s wide bandwidth composite transducer technology with a patented acoustic lens to provide exceptional image quality. Previous versions of domed sonar introduced beam defocusing in two conditions, warm & shallow and cold & deep. The beam defocusing effect becomes more extreme in warm shallow water as temperature increases and more extreme in cold deep water as depth increases. The Clariscan acoustic lens maintains beam focus through the entire operational temperature and depth range, significantly improving sonar performance and resulting in images that are much sharper.
