Impact Subsea Launches New Profiling Sonar Sensor
Impact Subsea has launched its new ISP360 Profiling Sonar which features an IS3 Impact Subsea Signaling Scheme.A highly compact and power efficient 1° profiling sonar, it has a range of up to 80 meters and a 0.35mm timing resolution. It provides sonar imagery with profiler points overlaid on top. Each point can then be logged or output to a survey package to enable the creation of a 3D points cloud.Acoustically the ISP360 can operate over the frequency range of 650kHz to 1.25MHz using Continuous Wave (CW), Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse (CHIRP) or the Impact Subsea Signaling Scheme (IS3).

What is a Sonar Pulse and How Can it Injure Humans Under Water?
Last month, the Australian government revealed that its navy divers had sustained “minor injuries”, likely due to sonar pulses from a Chinese navy vessel.The divers had been clearing fishing nets from the propellers of HMAS Toowoomba while in international waters off the coast of Japan. According to a statement from deputy prime minister Richard Marles, despite HMAS Toowoomba communicating with internationally recognized signals, the Chinese vessel approached the Australian ship and turned on its sonar, forcing the Australian divers to exit the water.The incident prompted a response from
