USBL Systems
Gaps Series are Ultra Short Baseline (USBL) positioning and communication systems which combine a USBL antenna and a fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) in the same housing. Their unique 3D acoustic array enables tracking and communication from the deep sea to extremely shallow water, even at angles above horizontal.

The iWand is a handheld acoustic transponder test and configuration device developed for use with Sonardyne’s 6G® product range.
USBL Systems
Sonardyne’s existing Wideband SubMini transponder (WSM) is typically interrogated by a responder trigger sent down the ROVs’ umbilical or a narrow band tone signal. In som situations, reverberation or multipath of the tone interrogation can cause interference problems. The new Sonardyne 8190 WMT is Sonardyne’s first mini-sized transponder. It is slightly larger than the WSM and provides full two-way Wideband interrogation and reply which completely mitigates interference from and to other users.

Gyro USBL combines a Sonardyne 6th (6G®) generation high performance HPT Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) transceiver and a Lodestar Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) / Inertial Navigation System (INS) in the same mechanical assembly. Key features Integrated Sonardyne 6G Wideband 2 USBL transceiver and Lodestar AHRS / INS offering high performance Small form factor Available in two inertial performance versions; standard for typical top-down operations and “plus” optimised for long layback tracking and touch-down monitoring. Available in two transducer array versions; standard and deepwater optimised LMF variant available on request Calibration free offering rapid deployment Class leading system precisionand accuracy. DP-INS (plus variant) and Ranger 2 USBL compatible Compatible with Sonardyne’s through-hull, over-the-side and stem tube deployment systems Ethernet and RS485 connectivity
USBL Systems
The Wideband®Sub-Mini 6+ (WSM 6+) is Sonardyne’s latest generation of versatile Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) transponders/responders that support Wideband 2 signals. The WSM 6+ is designed for positioning Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), towfish and other mobile targets in water depths up to 4,000 m.

The Mini SSBL transponders (MST) are medium frequency mini transponders. The MST transponders are to be used with the following underwater positioning and navigation systems. – HiPAP system – HPR series It is to be used for applications where a small and lightweight unit is required. A MST transponder is delivered with a molded protective plastic coating. Uncoated units are also available as an option. – All switches and connectors are recessed within the end cap for added protection. – The transponder comes with a pigtail with connector.

HPT 3000 is the highly capable surface deployed USBL transceiver at the heart of the Ranger 2 system. It’s suitable for all your operations, whether they involve shallow water, high elevation, long lay back operating scenarios, or data telemetry. You can choose to deploy it over the side of your vessel on a simple pole arrangement or under the hull of a USV. If your operations demand a permanent deployment, a through-hull deployment setup is possible. Simply fit a transponder to each target you want to track and you’re ready to go
USBL Systems
Ranger 2 is a survey grade Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) acoustic positioning system designed for deep water, long range tracking of underwater targets and position referencing for dynamically positioned (DP) vessels. The system calculates the position of a subsea target, for example an ROV, by measuring the range and bearing from a vessel-mounted transceiver to an acoustic transponder fitted to the target. Multiple subsea targets over a wide area and range of water depths can be simultaneously and precisely positioned.

Kongsberg Maritime’s cNODE MiniS Transponder is the most advanced HiPAP mini SSBL and LBL transponder developed to date. cNODE MiniS has an impressive range of features, including 560+ Cymbal digital acoustic channels. The transponder is available with a pressure rating of 4000m and 7000m and different transducer options, including remote transducers. Models with high accuracy strain‐gauge pressure sensors are available. The cNODE MiniS transponders are ideal for positioning WROVs or towfish and can be interfaced to a responder trigger and powered by ROV’s or towfish 24V supply for longer dive time.
USBL Systems
Applied Acoustic 916/919 Mini Beacons offer all round flexibility in coastal to deeper waters. They are compatible with Easytrak and almost all industry tracking systems operating worldwide. As all switch selections are external, there is no need to open the product to change channels to match the tracking system chosen. Battery charger and external power switches are similarly external.
USBL Systems
Kongsberg cNODE is a family of transponders for underwater acoustic positioning and communication. The transponders operate together with both HiPAP®, HPR and cPAP® transceivers. cNODE® utilises Cymbal® acoustic protocol and is compatible with the HiPAP®/HPR 400 channels and telemetry. cNODE® is designed to cover a large range of applications and this is made possible by the modular design and a specter of different transducers, internal and external sensors, housing materials and other add-on functions. cNODE® is easy to set-up, operate and maintain. Both new configuration and software can be downloaded from TTC 30 without opening the transponders. The floating collar and release design make the launch/recovery operation safe and easy. Spare parts for cNODE® are based on the main modules.
USBL Systems
Dunker 6+ LBL and telemetry transceiver is fully compatible with our modem and sensor logging instruments such as AMT and Fetch , allowing it to be used to retrieve data or configure logging regimes. It can also be used to release the RT 6 range of acoustic releases.
