2 THE SIDE SCAN SONAR (SSS), WHAT IT IS The SSS system, developed to create acoustic images of large areas of the surface of the marine bottom, consists of one of the variants of the original SONAR (SOund Navigation And Range) system, which searches the water column at high frequency (usually between khz) by means of acoustic scanning to the side and orthogonally in respect with the line of navigation. The restitution of the acoustic images makes it possible to perform the mapping and characterization of bottom cover, the detection of objects or obstacles for navigation, inspections of submerged structures, exploration of shipwreck remains, the monitoring and inspection of maritime and port constructed works and submarine cables and pipelines (Benabdeloued et al., 2010). BENTOS has the model 872 YellowFin SSS system by Imagenex, which operates on three frequencies: 260, 330 and 800 khz. Imagenex model 872 YellowFin SSS.
3 THE SSS SYSTEM, HOW IT FUNCTIONS Integrated on a tow fish structure, the sensor is towed with a communications cable linked to the control system on board the tow vessel. The general principal of functioning of the SBL system features the emission/receiving of acoustic waves through the transducers at a characteristic frequency and directed toward the marine bottom to insonify the surface of the marine soil in order to detect obstacles in the water column. The signal is reflected in intensities that are proportional to the impedance or acoustic absorption of the bottom cover. This trait makes it possible to detect objects and infer differences in the impedance and texture of the insonified bottom cover.
4 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SSS SYSTEM The principal characteristic of SSS systems, including the Imagenex model 872 YellowFin system that BENTOS operates, is the detection of objects present on the marine soil surface which, in accordance with their reflective properties (depending primarily on their roughness, nature and relief features) and the acoustic shadows generated, make it possible to infer their textures and dimensions.
5 The characterization of the types of marine bottom surface covers have a wide range of applications in which the most requested include: reconnaissance of navigation hazards (rock outcrops and other obstacles), detection of objects on the surface (submarine cables and pipelines), submarine archeology (exploration of shipwrecks), support for geotechnical exploration work, studies of cover distribution, sediment transport and geologic features. Example of the detection of rocks and coarse sediment (boulders, gravel) located close to the coastline by means of the side scan sonar system.
6 Identification of a shipwreck by means of SSS acoustic imaging. Reconnaissance of waves in sand on the surface of the marine bottom by means of the SSS system.
7 Example of reconnaissance of the sedimentary nature of the marine ROCKY BOTTOM by means of the SSS system in the northern area of the Chacao Channel, Chile. SOFT BOTTOM CONTOUR LINES
8 Example of the detection by the SSS system of the light cruiser SMS Dresden, scuttled off shore from the coast of the Juan Fernández Archipelago, Chile.
9 Location of the shipwreck of the Corvette Esmeralda by means of the Imagenex 872 YellowFin in Iquique (BENTOS, 2010).
10 Three-dimensional representation of the levels of acoustic activity of the marine bottom with SonarWiz (Chesapeake), integrating SSS data (Imagenex 872 YellowFin) and bathymetric depths acquired by means of high-resolution multibeam technology (R2Sonic), Bahía de Concepción, Chile (BENTOS, 2013).
11 Identification of elements and state of conservation of a shipwreck.
12 Submarine detection by means of side scan sonar images and the sonar shadow projected on the marine bottom.
