      The KATFISHTM system comprises of an actively-controlled intelligent towfish,  SAS  imaging,  bathymetry  and  gap-filler  sonars,  launch  and recovery system, operator console, and visualization/image processing software.  The  entire  system  is  designed  for  quick  installation  and removal  from vessels  of  opportunity  such  as  manned  or  unmanned surface vehicles. At the heart of the KATFISHTM system is the 180 cm AquaPix MINSAS sensor arrays (3 x 60 cm arrays make up the 180 cm) which provide remarkably sharp 3.3 cm x 3.0 cm constant resolution across ranges up to 200 meters per side.  With tow speeds up to 10 knots and an integral gap-filler, KATFISHTM provides unprecedented high-resolution Area Coverage Rates (ACR) of 4 km2/hr.KATFISHTM  incorporates  Kraken s  latest  generation  Real-Time  SAS processor, the RTSAS GPU. RTSAS enables real-time processing of SAS imagery  and  bathymetry,  and  allows  operators  to  leverage  Kraken's suite of post-processing tools, including the newly developed SASVIEW 3D visualization and sonar control software.  From the very beginning, the engineers at Kraken set out to design a towfish with unparalleled resolution and coverage rates to challenge the  industry  to  rethink  how  hydrographic,  pipeline,  and  mine countermeasure surveys should be conducted. Providing SAS capability and performance at an affordable cost has truly elevated KATFISHTMinto a league of its own.Anchor scours and dory in Bedford Basin, Halifax, Nova Scotia
