Abstract: Currently there are a lot of investigations in the shelf zone of the coastal seas. These works requires engineering surveys including the construction of the bottom topography. Interferometric side scan sonar is one of the most efficient system capable to solve such tasks. The ISSS is working by finding the phase difference between the two signals reflected from the same area on the bottom within one resolution element and received by two separated receiving antennas. Carrying out of correct interferometric phase difference is the main task for constructing bathymetry of the bottom surface.

This paper reviewed some questions, related to development in JSC “NIIP” of interferometric side scan sonar «NEMAN ISSS-500». Some results of real data processing, carried out by interferometric side scan sonar «NEMAN ISSS – 500», are presented.

Key words: sonar systems, interferometric side scan sonar, constructing bathymetry of the bottom surface.
