Forward looking sonar

Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) is a crucial navigational aid for maritime operations, providing real-time images of the sea floor and underwater obstacles ahead of the vessel. This system uses acoustic waves to detect and map the underwater environment, helping in safe navigation, especially in shallow or unfamiliar waters. FLS is invaluable for avoiding collisions with submerged objects and ensuring safe passage through challenging routes. By enhancing situational awareness, forward looking sonar significantly reduces the risk of groundings and collisions, ensuring the safety and efficiency of maritime operations.
