全新的 EM2042 DR600 和 EM2042 BNS 基于市场验证的 EM2042 平台打造，沿用其成功的下一代声学架构，同时满足两种截然不同的作业需求：深海水下航行器（涵盖从 AUV、ROV、ROTV 到潜艇的各种平台）以及严苛的海上环境。这两款产品将在伦敦国际海洋学展上亮相，届时参观者将有机会了解 Kongsberg Discovery 如何不断突破水下传感创新的界限。

数据深度分析

EM2042 DR600 拥有与标准版 EM 2042 相同的市场领先性能，但专为水下航行器和深海无人平台而设计。凭借耐压钛合金外壳和水下专用电子元件，该系统额定工作深度达 600 米，能够在轻巧、节能的封装中提供超高分辨率的测绘，并针对功率预算有限的水下航行器进行了优化。

其与车辆无关的设计和单电缆连接使其集成灵活简便，而其独特的双接收器和单发射器配置则可在水下平台上实现高达 220° 的扫描宽度。其他突出特点包括多发射器/多扇区技术，即使在机动车辆上也能进行​​精确的 4D 运动补偿，以及可扩大覆盖范围和加快操作速度的 QuadSwath 技术。

“M2042 DR600 采用与车辆无关的封装，提供世界一流的深度性能，适用于各种应用，”康士伯探索产品经理 Jose Cordero 评论道。“它赋予运营商更深潜的作业能力，尤其是在使用自主设备时，能够以值得信赖的速度和精度获得超高分辨率的测绘结果。这是市场一直期待的激动人心的创新。”

坚固耐用

与 DR600 互补的是 EM2042 BNS，这是一款针对海军优化的多波束解决方案，旨在实现最佳水下领域感知、关键基础设施保护、快速环境评估以及广泛的国防应用。

BNS 型号专为严苛环境而设计，具备军用级坚固性，它将高分辨率测深与配准后向散射相结合，能够实现精确的海底建模、变化检测和水体目标跟踪。其宽频带频率范围（150-700 kHz）和先进的运动稳定技术，即使在快速移动或不稳定的平台上也能提供精确的测绘；而单电缆架构则简化了安装并降低了水面系统的复杂性——这对于潜艇和舰艇集成尤为重要。

最终得到的是一个轻便灵活、功能强大的系统，它能够支持更快的作战行动、更高的任务效率，并在最关键的时刻做出更自信的决策。

“M2042 BNS 为海军海底测绘和导航树立了新的标准，”科尔德罗补充道。“它将无与伦比的声学性能与严苛国防环境所需的坚固性和稳定性完美结合，使用户能够自信地应对各种需求和挑战，从广域感知到高分辨率探测，无所不能。”

以客户为中心

EM2042 DR600 和 EM2042 BNS 都体现了 Kongsberg Discovery 不断发展和改进其产品组合的雄心，以应对不断变化、日益不可预测的运营环境带来的挑战。

“我们所做的一切都源于我们助力客户成功的雄心壮志，”科尔德罗总结道。“这些新型EM2042系列产品展现了我们如何倾听市场需求，并以实用、高性能的解决方案做出回应——无论是支持深海自主作业，还是增强海军平台的态势感知能力。我们的使命是不断突破水下作业的极限，帮助用户更智能、更安全、更自信地开展工作。”

参观国际海洋学展的游客将有机会亲身体验全新的 EM2042 型号，并与 Kongsberg Discovery 的专家探讨在国防、能源和海洋科学领域的集成方案、应用和未来发展。

The new EM2042 DR600 and EM2042 BNS build on the market proven EM2042 platform, sharing its successful next-generation acoustic architecture, while addressing two distinct operational needs: deep-rated subsea vehicles (spanning platforms from AUVs, ROVs, ROTVS to submarines) and demanding naval environments. Both products will be showcased at Oceanology International in London, giving visitors the opportunity to explore how Kongsberg Discovery continues to push boundaries in underwater sensing innovation.

Data deep dives

The EM2042 DR600 offers the same market leading performance as the standard EM 2042 but is engineered specifically for underwater vehicles and deep unmanned platforms. With a depth rating of 600 m, thanks to pressure resistant titanium housing and subsea-qualified electronics, the system delivers ultra-high-resolution mapping in a lightweight, energy-efficient package optimised for subsea vehicles with limited power budgets.

Its vehicle agnostic design and single cable connectivity offer flexible, simple integration, while its unique dual RX and single TX configuration enables up to 220° swath coverage on subsea platforms. Other stand-out features include multi-transmitter/multisector technology, with full 4D motion compensation for precise mapping, even on manoeuvring vehicles, and QuadSwath ready technology for increased coverage and faster operations.

“EM2042 DR600 brings world class depth-rated performance in a vehicle agnostic package suitable for a huge range of applications,” comments Jose Cordero, Product Manager, Kongsberg Discovery. “It gives operators a new capacity to dive deeper, especially with autonomous assets, and achieve ultra-high-resolution mapping results with speed and precision they can trust. This is an exciting development the market has been calling out for.”

Built tough

Complementing the DR600 is EM2042 BNS, a naval-optimised multibeam solution developed to enable optimal underwater domain awareness, critical infrastructure protection, rapid environment assessments and a wide range of defence applications.

Built for harsh environments, with military-grade robustness, the BNS variant combines high-resolution bathymetry with co-registered backscatter, enabling accurate seabed modelling, change detection and target tracking in the water column. Its wideband frequency coverage (150 - 700 kHz) and advanced motion stabilisation, deliver precise mapping even on fast-moving or unstable platforms, while a single-cable architecture simplifies installation and reduces topside complexity - particularly valuable for submarine and naval integrations.

The result is a light, limber and capable system that supports faster operations, improved mission efficiency, and confident decision making, when it matters most.

“EM2042 BNS sets a new standard for naval seabed mapping and navigation,” Cordero adds. “It pairs unmatched acoustic performance with the robustness and stability required for demanding defence environments, giving users the confidence to meet demands and address challenges, from wide-area awareness to high-resolution inspection.”

Customer at the core

Both EM2042 DR600 and EM2042 BNS demonstrate Kongsberg Discovery’s ambition to continually evolve and improve its product portfolio to meet the challenges of an ever-changing, increasingly unpredictable operational environment.

“Everything we do is driven by our ambition to enable customer success,” Cordero concludes. “These new EM2042 variants demonstrate how we listen to the market and respond with practical, high-performance solutions - whether that’s enabling autonomous operations at depth or enhancing situational awareness for naval platforms. Our mission is to keep pushing what’s possible underwater, helping users work smarter, safer and with greater confidence.”

Visitors to Oceanology International will be able to experience both new EM2042 models firsthand and speak with Kongsberg Discovery specialists about integration options, applications and future developments across defence, energy and ocean science.
