Side-Scan Sonar Installation on a TOKNAV USV

What this video shows

The tutorial makes the integration work visible: underwater hardware, cable routing, positioning interfaces and the acquisition computer. It is useful when specifying an inspection or imaging package. The boat and sonar revisions are not fully identified in the supplied video, so the final bill of materials must be confirmed separately.

Before specifying your equipment

Side-scan imagery helps interpret underwater features. It is not, by itself, a validated bathymetric depth surface. Request the actual sonar model, operating configuration, image georeferencing method and required positioning inputs. Confirm permanent mounting, strain relief and watertightness before service.
