EM300 (Multibeam sonar system)

The EM300 is a high-resolution multibeam sonar system used primarily in underwater mapping and exploration. It emits sound waves from a device mounted on a ship, which then bounce off the seafloor and return to the system. By measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to return, the EM300 creates detailed 3D maps of underwater landscapes, including depths and features such as reefs and wrecks. This technology is essential for marine research, navigation, and environmental monitoring, providing critical data for scientists, engineers, and policymakers.
