GNSS positioning system µPAP

underwaterreceiver

µPAP is a small and compact acoustic positioning system for operation from a surface vessel to track ROV's, tow fish, divers and any other subsea target at ranges to several thousand meters. The system operates in SSBL mode where it measures the distance and direction to subsea transponders and computes a 3D position in local coordinates or in geographical coordinates. µPAP is designed to be a portable system for easy installation on the vessel or other surface unit. General features µPAP is a small and compact acoustic positioning system designed for operation from a surface vessel to track ROV’s, tow fish, divers and any other subsea object at several thousand metres range. The system operates in SSBL mode where it measures the distance and direction to subsea transponders and computes a 3D position in local coordinates or in geographical coordinates. Versatile Positioning Capabilities µPAP benefits from the Cymbal acoustic protocol and all functions that are available for the HiPAP products are also available for µPAP. µPAP has full LBL calibration and positioning capabilities and can be used for position box in, calibration and positioning. The system is offering the user a wide range of transponder channels and cNODE transponder models for depths down to 4000 metres. µPAP has built-in motion sensors for compensating the position for vessels' roll and pitch movements Ease of Use With Robust Output These models have no need for calibration of roll and pitch alignments but need to calibrate for alignment to the vessels’ gyro compass. The system can be interfaced to the vessel heading sensor and GNSS system. Data output to users are available in established formats
