Underwater Ultrasonic Mechanical Scanning Device
-------------------------------------------------
We are seeking an expert to design and develop an underwater FORWARD LOOKING SONAR with mechanically rotating capability ( 0 to 180degrees)
The project involves mechanical design, ultrasonic technology integration, and underwater operational considerations. The objective of this project is to develop a underwater mechanical scanning sonar system capable of retrieving the full echo response output from the single beam echo sounder device. This device is intended to use in shallow waters such as ponds and lakes of max depth of 20 feet. The range covering is targeted at 50meters.
The system will use a Single beam sonar device (Transducer + integrated processing electronics to produce full echo profile output) with 500KHz frequency and narrow beamwidth.
The device is mounted on a base using a stepper motor and will rotate from 0° to 180°, obtained full echo response at each step. These measurements will be stored on an onboard memory of the controlling unit like Raspberry Pi. The sonar device will be in the water for not more than 10 scans (or full 180 degree rotations). It will be taken out from the water after taking 10 scans.
The whole system should be secured with an IP68 rating waterproof enclosure. This power source for this entire prototype (Sonar device, stepper motor, raspberyPi etc..) should be Lithium battery pack.
The main parts of this prototype are:...

The main parts of this prototype are:
1. Custom made Single beam echo sounder.
2. Stepper motor and driver.
3. Raspberry PI for controlling the stepper motor and the echosounder device. Storing the echo output on the onboard memory.
4. Waterproof enclosure.(poly carbonate or aluminum preferred).
5. Battery functionality up to 8hours.
6. Any other required accessories/hardware parts.
Ideal candidates should have experience in mechanical engineering, solid works, ultrasonic systems, and underwater device development.
