Impact Subsea, a leader in subsea sensor technology, has continued to develop their ISS360 Imaging Sonar range.
Since its debut in 2020, the ISS360 is a solution for ROV and AUV navigation and target identification, offering a replacement for legacy scanning sonar systems.
A Five-Year Journey
Launched in March 2020 as the world’s smallest scanning, imaging sonar, the ISS360, was designed to provide a step-change in capability for the underwater vehicle market.
The ISS360 Imaging Sonar has undergone development, evolving from the world’s most compact, scanning sonar into a high-definition powerhouse.
Over the past five years, Impact Subsea has maintained a development roadmap to meet the increasing demands of the subsea industry:
- 2020: The Foundation: Introduced resilient operation via inductive coupling, entirely removing the need for slip rings, a common failure point in traditional scanning sonars.
- 2021: Extreme Depth: Launched the 6,000-meter rated ISS360, featuring a Titanium housing and specialized pressure-compensated components for ultra-deepwater missions.
- 2022: High-Definition Clarity: The launch of the ISS360HD brought a 1° acoustic angular resolution and a 2.5mm range resolution, enabling operators to identify targets in zero-visibility conditions with unprecedented detail.
- 2023: Seamless Integration: Direct GitHub access to an Open-Source Software Development Kit (SDK), allowing AUV developers to integrate the
