Q-MAP SONARS

FLANQ's USVs and AUVs can be configured with sonar technologies from leading partners, providing superior underwater imaging and data collection capabilities for naval missions.

At FLANQ, we understand the critical role of sonar in underwater operations. That’s why our USVs are designed to integrate seamlessly with a range of advanced sonar payloads, enabling high-resolution seabed mapping, precise object detection, and target classification. From shallow water surveys to deep-sea inspections, FLANQ sonar payloads offer the flexibility to adapt to any mission requirement.

R3VOX VOXOMETER

The Voxometer, from R3Vox, provides high-resolution 3D volumetric imaging of the water column, enabling detailed analysis of underwater environments and detection of submerged objects with exceptional precision. Its unique 3D capabilities are ideal for tasks such as inspecting submarine cables and pipelines for act of deliberate sabotage, and high tempo search and recovery operations.

3D VOLUMETRIC IMAGING, HIGH-RESOLUTION BATHYMETRY, SHALLOW WATER SURVEYS

R2SONIC V SERIES

The V Series, from R2Sonic offers high-resolution multibeam sonar data for detailed seabed mapping and bathymetric surveys. These systems, such as the compact 2020-V provide exceptional value, data quality and coverage, enabling accurate charting, habitat mapping, and precise underwater terrain modelling. They are ideal for naval hydrographic surveys and environmental monitoring.

WAVEFRONT SOLSTICE MAS

The Wavefront Solstice Multi-Aperture Sonar (MAS), from Forcys, is a compact and versatile sonar system that’s in-service with man-portable AUVs. It provides pixel-perfect 3D bathymetry data, enabling accurate seabed mapping and Mine-Like-Object (MILO) detection and classification in challenging shallow water environments. This system is well-suited for coastal surveys, port and harbour inspections, and MCM assessments.

FLANQ USVs and AUVs with their advanced sonar payloads provide enhanced maritime domain awareness and mission success.
