Prosecutors say there was no evidence that the equipment was for military purposes.
Norwegian company Kongsberg said that the exported equipment was a multibeam echo sounder used for seabed mapping.
The pair, who were employed by Singapore-based survey equipment supplier Hydronav at the time, pleaded guilty to exporting strategic goods without a permit. Hydronav was also fined S$1.13 million by the court for exporting the sonar system and a drone used for surveying to Myanmar. Hydronav then sold it to a Myanmar entity, Light of Universe, for US$1.58 million to be used by the Myanmar Navy Hydrographic Centre.
