Cost-effective High-speed multi-sector scanning sonar

A cost effective high-speed multi-sector scanning sonar. 

The CH-37BB is available in 60, 113 or 162 kHz, and can therefor be just as useful to an  inshore demersal trawler as it can be for targeting pelagic tuna. 

Based on FURUNO's exclusive multi-sector beam-forming technology, it provides some of the combined benefits of searchlight and omnidirectional sonars at a reduced cost.
