Some sonars have a flash function for ice fishing. Instead of running all the time they just make a quick transmissjon every few seconds or whatever you program if to do.

As nicepix says it's called a flasher and is just a fishfinder / sonar . Bit tough to explain them but instead of displaying the water column as a scrolling chart, it show as a circle or clock face with the depths shown round the edge.  When a fish comes under you it shows as a line in the circle at the depth it's at. Bit tough to explain them but lots of info on youtube under ice fishing flashers. Here is a picture of my fishfinder set up in flasher ice mode / screen, might make it a bit clearer, but the depth shows 0ft and 3.7 degrees as it was in my garage lol. And agree Sasha looks alright for a fishing partner...
