FarSounder’s Argos Forward Looking Sonars are the only products on the market capable of generating a true 3D image ahead of a vessel in real-time. Argos series of sonars are operational and reliable at navigationally significant ranges up to 1000 meters (1/2 nautical mile) and speeds up to 25 knots. They improve navigation safety by detecting in-water hazards and shallow bottoms by producing real-time 3D imagery in the Omni Viewer and overlaying the data in the Chart View. This provides users with the knowledge of what is ahead right now. Users are able to see where it’s safe to navigate. With this patented technology, you can have the confidence to venture into unknown and unchartered waters.

The Local History Mapping™ application offers the ability to build a 3D map of the seafloor where you have recently sailed. This is shown both in the 3D Omni View and in the Chart View. Since Argos sonars have a wide horizontal field of view ahead of the vessel, a single pass of an Argos 3D forward-looking sonar with LHM can map a much wider swath of the seafloor than a standard echosounder.

This is the perfect solution for your yacht, whether an 18m sport fishing vessel or a global expedition superyacht. With three transducer sizes offered, the Argos 1000, Argos 500, and the Argos 330, there is a sonar system well-suited for your yacht type, length, and hull shape.

At FarSounder, they believe in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the exploration of the world’s oceans and waterways. They do this by developing innovative products that do more than just help yachts get safely from point A to point B. They make a difference by being environmentally conscious by creating products that reduce the impact on the ecosystem.

Since 2001, they have dedicated themselves to tackling new ideas and developing Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar technology (3D FLS). It is a unique technology that paints a clear picture of what lies ahead underwater and along the bottom, reducing the likelihood of collisions, which in turn prevents costly damage to property, the environment, and marine and human lives alike. Wherever you decide to go, FarSounder will help get you there safely.
