with an ultra-short baseline positioning system. We felt that the Saab Sabertooth meets this criteria.“The vehicle relies, in its base package, on its IXBlue Phins3 INS, and RDI workhorse DVL, with data acquisition, navigation and processing of sensor data managed by QINsy, which also takes in Novatel DGPS data. However, the payload is flexible and it could also work within long baseline (LBL) arrays or with a USBL system where required, with a Sonardyne AvTrak 6, providing a transducer, transceiver and telemetry link in one”, says Ward.In 2017, the company performed demonstrations and

NovAtel Unveils Oceanix Nearshore Service

NovAtel, a OEM supplier of high precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning technology, has unveiled its Oceanix Nearshore correction service at Ocean Business in Southampton, UK. Oceanix Nearshore, a subscription-based GNSS correction service for Precise Point Positioning (PPP), provides sub-decimetre positioning for marine applications such as dredging, hydrographic survey, mapping and coastal patrolling. The robustness of Oceanix infrastructure sets it apart from the competition. Oceanix precise corrections data is generated utilizing a network of over 80 strategicall

ESNE counts Kongsberg, Birns, Falmat, Klein, CodaOctopus, Geometrics, Novatel, MetOcean, VideoRay and now Rowe among its vendors. ESNE has also been a Pelican/Hardigg distributor for 25 years

HYPACK Integrates Velodyne Laser

HYPACK informs it has recently worked with the Velodyne HDL-32E topographic laser. Dave Maddock of HYPACK integrated the unit to receive data from all 32 channels. A drive around the local Lowe's hardware store, using a Novatel C-Span RTK-GPS is shown. The Velodyne HDL-32E laser measures 5.7" x 3.4", can be mounted in a variety of angles and generates up to 700,000 points per second with a range up to 70 meters. The new integration will be available shortly as an update to HYPACK 2015.

Compact Bathymetry Sonar: NORBIT Choose NovAtel® SPAN®

NovAtel announce at the Oceanology International (Oi) China expo, that NORBIT has selected their Synchronized Position Attitude Navigation (SPAN) product for integration into the new NORBIT iWBMS Compact Bathymetry Sonar. They say that this combination of technologies produces integrated bathymetry solutions that are easy to operate and deliver previously unattainable miniaturization of the form factor. NovAtel’s SPAN technology brings together Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning technology and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). When coupled with the STIM300, a Micro Electrome
