The L-3 Klein BATHY 5000-V2 is a hydrographic survey system which has the ability to simultaneously collect IHO quality swath bathymetry and high resolution multi-beam side scan data in a co-registered and georeferenced
data set. The L-3 Klein BATHY 5000-V2 is the only product in its class to provide frequency modulated (FM) chirp processing for both bathymetry and side scan, providing high resolution with extended range performance. The wide swath bathymetry performance meets IHO-SP-44 Special Order standards for
hydrographic surveys and provides a 2X survey coverage advantage over traditional multi-beam echo sounders in shallow water. The side scan has the capability of producing 10cm resolution side scan in the High Resolution Mode.

The dual functionality of the L-3 Klein BATHY 5000-V2 effectively allows TWO SURVEYS to be accomplished in ONE PASS saving significant ship time and expense. The cost of ownership of the L-3 Klein BATHY 5000-V2 is extremely reasonable when you consider the competitive acquisition price, cost of
operating one system instead of two and the 50% savings in survey time.
