Teledyne BlueView BV3100 Boat Mount with P&T

Portable Acoustic Underwater Vision for Rapid Surface Deployment

Product Overview 

The Teledyne BlueView BV3100 is a complete, modular deployment system designed to turn any patrol boat or vessel of opportunity into a high-performance search-and-recovery platform. By mounting a 2D forward-looking sonar onto a digital Pan & Tilt (P&T) unit at the end of a telescopic pole, it allows a single operator to conduct 360° underwater inspections without the need for an ROV or a diver.

System Components

The BV3100 is typically sold as a "turnkey" kit that includes:

  • Digital Pan & Tilt Unit: Allows the sonar to be rotated and tilted remotely from a laptop, providing a full spherical search area.
  • Telescopic Pole Mount: An adjustable aluminum pole (extending to ~77 inches) that secures to the boat's gunwale using a quick-release clamp.
  • 2D Imaging Sonar: Compatible with various BlueView M-Series or P-Series sonars (most commonly the 450 kHz for range or 900 kHz for resolution).
  • Rugged Transport Case: The entire system is designed for one-man portability and rapid setup (often under 10 minutes).

Cable LengthStandard 50 ft (Optional 150 ft)

 

  • Vessel-Referenced Imaging: The sonar imagery is integrated with the P&T position so that the target's position on your screen correctly reflects its real-world position relative to the boat's heading.
  • Underway Operation: Unlike tripod-based systems, the BV3100 is engineered to operate while the vessel is moving at speeds up to 5 knots.
  • 360° Situational Awareness: Operators can "sweep" the harbor bottom or dock walls simply by rotating the pan motor from the surface, covering a massive area in a fraction of the time a diver would require.
  • Geo-Referencing Capability: When combined with a GPS/Heading sensor, targets can be tagged with precise coordinates for future recovery or diver vectoring.
