Overview
The FLS Series is the next generation mine and obstacle avoidance sonar. Derived from the sea proven technology of the 3D Multi-Beam Echo Sounder SeapiX, the FLS Series revolutionizes the market and increases performances.
The 3D Multi-Beam Echo Sounder has been developed upon request of the French Armament Secretary for multipurpose applications such as mine and obstacle avoidance, real-time mapping and navigation, and Rapid Environment Assessment (REA).
The FLS Series is available in two versions :
-
FSL 150, very compact packaging, for portable and lightweight integration, for patrol ships or USVs integration.
-
FLS 60, for large ships or submarines integration. The FLS Series is fully mission configurable.
