Cerulean Sonar System / Package

ROV Locator Mk III

Model ROVL-MKIII-TX-RX-CBLA

Two-way acoustic USBL positioning system for ROVs and AUVs with 300m depth rating and no timebase drift, for indefinite submerged operation.

Description

The Mk III ROV Locator bundle includes a deepside transponder (mounted on the ROV or AUV) and a topside transceiver. The topside unit sends an interrogation pulse and the deepside unit replies; slant range is computed from round-trip time of flight, so no start-of-mission timebase synchronization is needed and accuracy does not drift.

Key features

  • 300m depth rating
  • Integration can be as simple as supplying vehicle battery power
  • Tracks the vehicle in real time in SonarView; can update QGroundControl on MAVLink vehicles
  • USB communication and documented open API
