As unmanned and autonomous surface vessels (USVs) take on more complex missions, real-time 3D forward looking sonar (FLS) is becoming essential for safe navigation and environmental protection. Systems like FarSounder’s Argos 3D FLS provide USVs with live, three-dimensional underwater awareness, enabling them to detect and avoid hazards, protect sensitive marine environments, and contribute valuable bathymetric data to global research initiatives. Integration of 3D FLS enhances both autonomous and remote-controlled operations, improving mission reliability and operational flexibility across fleet deployments.
