The Argos 500 is an advanced forward-looking sonar system designed for mid-sized vessels between 30–50+ meters, providing reliable detection of underwater hazards up to 500 meters ahead. Engineered for high-speed operations up to 20 knots, it offers enhanced situational awareness for uncrewed marine platforms, supporting safe navigation in complex environments. Its wide-angle coverage—120° at 200 m range and 90° at 500 m—combined with True Target Motion™ and Local History Mapping™ ensures accurate, real-time visualization of both stationary and moving obstacles, empowering operators to make precise navigational decisions.
The system integrates smoothly through a straightforward fixed installation, minimizing retrofit complexity while delivering robust performance. With multi-range settings, roll/pitch stabilization, and compatibility with leading bridge systems like Wärtsilä NACOS Platinum™ and Team Italia I-Bridge™, the Argos 500 serves as a critical tool for defense, offshore, and autonomous applications. Its customizable alarms, chart overlays, and optional i4Insight Professional+ mapping software provide tailored data outputs, ensuring that mission-critical operations maintain peak safety and efficiency.
