PinPoint LBL Acoustic Positioning Systems

Model PinPoint 1500, PinPoint 10000

Long baseline acoustic positioning systems for confined, shallow and noisy environments, including ship hull and dam inspections.

Description

PinPoint long baseline (LBL) acoustic positioning systems use BASS technology and ranging techniques simplified from LinkQuest's precision geodetic systems, giving strong rejection of multipath and ship noise. They integrate with LinkQuest acoustic modems and TrackLink USBL systems.

Models

  • PinPoint 1500: range up to 1000 m, accuracy 0.05 to 0.5 m, 26.7 to 44.6 kHz
  • PinPoint 10000: range up to 10000 m, accuracy 0.3 to 2.0 m, 7.5 to 12.5 kHz

Applications

PinPoint 1500 suits ship hull, bottom and dam inspections in confined harbors and was used for the inspection of USNS Mercy at San Diego Naval Station. PinPoint 10000 serves deepwater positioning of vehicles and equipment.
