  • 3-D forward looking sonar with fixed frame of reference for navigation
    Patent number: 7355924
    Abstract: An imaging sonar system develops three-dimensional images of the space below, to the sides, and forward of a ship relative to a fixed frame of reference. Various features permit the system to be used in non-military environments and make possible low cost with substantial capabilities.
    Type: Grant
