Navigate with Confidence Using ForwardScan™ Sonar

The Simrad ForwardScan™ Transducer Kit is a game-changer for boaters seeking enhanced safety and precision when navigating shallow or uncharted waters. This forward-looking transducer provides real-time depth information ahead of the vessel, allowing for better route planning and improved situational awareness. Designed for seamless integration with compatible Simrad displays, this system ensures boaters can confidently steer through unfamiliar waterways.

Advanced Forward-Looking Sonar Technology

Unlike traditional depth sounders that only scan directly beneath the boat, ForwardScan™ projects a two-dimensional sonar image ahead of the vessel. This provides a clear and immediate view of the underwater terrain, reducing the risk of running aground. The system is capable of scanning up to eight times the current water depth, offering a significant advantage for both powerboats and sailboats.

High-Speed, Low-Interference Performance

Operating at 180 kHz, the ForwardScan™ transducer minimizes interference from conventional 200 kHz echo sounders, ensuring clear and accurate imaging. It transmits and receives sonar data up to ten times faster than earlier forward-looking systems, delivering real-time updates for enhanced responsiveness.

Seamless Network Integration

The Simrad ForwardScan™ Transducer Kit integrates effortlessly with compatible Simrad and B&G displays, providing a user-friendly sonar interface. It connects directly to a SonarHub™ module or an NSS evo2 multifunction display, ensuring plug-and-play convenience. ForwardScan™ sonar functionality is available on the following display units:

• NSS Evo2
• NSO Evo2
• Zeus 2
