"Paint" an image of your surroundings

As the Blueye ROV moves around, the Cerulean SonarView “paints” the image of the scanned area of the sea floor giving excellent situational awareness in the murkiest conditions.

Using Omniscan 450 compact on the Blueye ROV, the scanning is under the direct control of the ROV operator so that you can focus on specific areas of interest rather than waiting for a mechanical scanning sonar to slowly come around to sweep the particular sector you want to see.

Compact Size, Powerful Performance

The OmniScan 450 is built for powerful performance in a compact form. Measuring only 124 x 121 x 56 mm, it fits easily onto inspection-class ROVs while delivering full 360° coverage and real-time imaging. Its rugged design and low power requirements make it ideal for operations in challenging underwater environments.
