Omniscan 3D Products

The Omniscan 3D product range will expand throughout 2026 with a variety of configurations, but we are currently shipping two SKUs: the full Omniscan 3D 450 SS, and the Omniscan 3D RX16 Receive Module.

Omniscan 3D 450 SS

Omniscan 3D is a modular system. The Omniscan 3D 450 SS is intended for deployment in a side scan application. A single unit may be used for a single sided application. Order a pair for typical port + starboard deployment.

Available with support for BlueOS-based vehicles, or for integrators with sufficient technical capabilities to manage networking configuration and installation of a Docker container on a suitable Linux host.

Omniscan 3D 450 RX16 Receive Array

A key aspect of the Omniscan 3D architecture is that it is possible to upgrade any of the current Omniscan products to 3D capability by adding the new Omniscan 450 RX16 receive array module. This includes the very popular Omniscan 450 SS which is the initial focus, but the 3D capability can equally apply to the OS 450 FS, and the OS 450 Compact.

The Omniscan 450 RX16 Receive Array listens to the sonar echo signal on 16 hydrophone channels directed along the same (horizontal) axis as the transmit beam from the Omniscan 450 SS. At each range step, the phase of each of the 16 received signals are combined using advanced DSP algorithms to determine the vertical angle from which the echo was received.
