PAYLOAD
400 kHz multibeam, 300/900 kHz side-scan
— OVERVIEW
A Mills-cross multibeam and dual-frequency side-scan in a single pressure-tolerant payload module for K6 and K3.
Ridgeline is the payload bay most K6 missions fly with. It pairs a 512-beam multibeam with a dual-frequency side-scan, time-synced to the vehicle’s inertial navigation.
It meets IHO Order 1a for hydrographic work at the depths K6 flies.
— WHY IT WORKS
Three details that matter at depth.
01
512 beams, 160 m swath
5 cm resolution 12 m above the floor.
02
Dual-frequency side-scan
300 kHz for coverage, 900 kHz for detail.
03
IHO Order 1a
Survey-grade accuracy with a full uncertainty budget.
