FarSounder, a global leader in 3D Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) technology, continues to push the boundaries of innovation with the release of its new web app with an intuitive user interface (UI). They are setting a new standard for navigation safety and user experience. In the fast-evolving world of marine navigation, staying ahead is not just an advantage; it is essential.

With this release, there is a new era in the FarSounder user experience. The highlight of this release is a powerful and integrative web app compatible with tablets and laptops, with plans to expand compatibility with multi-function displays (MFDs). This versatility allows captains and officers to access the advanced 3D display from virtually anywhere on board, whether standing on deck or stationed at the helm.

The new UI seamlessly integrates sonar data with chart and aerial imagery layers along with AIS and ARPA targets, providing a clear, comprehensive, and interactive navigation environment. By freeing ship operators from the limitations of a fixed workstation, FarSounder blends enhanced situational awareness with operational efficiency.

"Mariners need more than just accurate data. They need that data to be accessible, intuitive, and actionable, and ideally from anywhere," said Matthew Zimmerman, CEO of FarSounder. "Our new web app and easy-to-understand UI deliver on that promise, giving vessel operators a level of flexibility and safety they've never had before."

At the heart of this advancement is the FarSounder Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar system, delivering unprecedented underwater awareness with real-time data up to 1,000 meters ahead of the vessel. This cutting-edge technology empowers mariners with the ability to navigate challenging waters with confidence.
