UK’s designer and manufacturer of sonar and acoustic products, Marine Electronics Ltd (MEL), is showcasing its new Dolphin 2D sonar at Oceanology International 2016.

A prototype of the new sonar was first presented to the industry a year ago, and, according to the company, it has, since then, been refined and tested to the point where it is now ready for operational use.

The new Dolphin 2D is a 720 kHz model based-on MEL’s existing Dolphin 3001 model which operates at 250 kHz. The sonar is intended for use on small ROVs and AUVs as well as for other applications on surface craft.
