 This rapidly deployable system provides real-time sonar images to operators to locate, classify, mark and record mine-like objects and underwater terrain features.The AQS-20 has an active, stabilized underwater vehicle, equipped with advanced multiple-beam side-looking sonar.The underwater body is towed via a small-diameter electromechanical cable, while an operator can view the underwater image and identify objects on a video monitor while recording the data on S-VHS digital tapes for post mission analysis.
