Chasing PING 360 Sonar Kit for M2 Pro Max – 360° High-resolution Scanning Sonar for Low-Visibility Water
The Chasing PING 360 Sonar Kit is a mechanical scanning sonar designed exclusively for the Chasing M2 Pro Max. It provides 360-degree acoustic imaging to support navigation and inspection tasks in low-visibility water. Additionally, the unit offers an open-source software interface for integration with ROV systems and underwater acoustic imaging workflows.
Designed Uses and Modes
The sonar kit supports four primary modes to match varied operational needs. These modes enable practical on-site use and mission flexibility:
- Obstacle avoiding — detect and map nearby obstructions to help prevent collisions.
- Location targeting — locate and track specific objects or targets under water.
- Navigation — assist vehicle orientation and route planning when visibility is poor.
- Inspection — perform close-range acoustic inspections where optical cameras cannot see.
Performance Summary
The PING 360 achieves full 360° mechanical scanning with high-resolution imaging. It reaches targets at distances up to 50 m (165 ft) and can operate to a pressure rating of 300 m (984 ft). Moreover, the sonar delivers fine range resolution at both short and long distances, making it suitable for detailed acoustic mapping and target identification.

FAQ
Question: What is the primary purpose of the Chasing PING 360 Sonar Kit?
Answer: The sonar kit provides 360° mechanical scanning for navigation, inspection, obstacle avoidance, and location targeting in low-visibility water. It delivers high-resolution acoustic imaging to support ROV missions.
Question: How far and how deep can this sonar operate?
Answer: The sonar has a maximum range of 50 m (165 ft) and a pressure rating of 300 m (984 ft), allowing it to detect and image objects at those operational limits.
Question: What resolution and scanning performance can I expect?
Answer: Range resolution is 4.1 cm at 50 m and 1.6 mm at 2 m. The horizontal beamwidth is 2°. Scan speeds vary with distance: approximately 9 seconds per 360° at 2 m and about 35 seconds per 360° at 50 m.
Question: Is the sonar compatible with other platforms besides the M2 Pro Max?
Answer: The Chasing PING 360 Sonar Kit is designed exclusively for the Chasing M2 Pro Max and is listed as compatible with that model. For use with other platforms, please verify compatibility or consult the manufacturer or supplier for integration guidance.
