Applied Acoustics Partners with STR to Enhance Positioning Technology
; advanced and USBL technology with a leading inertial navigation system (INS). This calibration-free USBL system generates subsea tracking data. With common interrogation frequencies, MiQ data telemetry and the ability to track 16 targets, the Pyxis system is ideal for a wide range of offshore applications, particularly unexploded ordnance (UXO) surveys.As a calibration-free system, the Pyxis INS + USBL is highly portable and ready to deploy from any vessel upon arrival at the work site. The MEMS-based INS does not fall under ITAR regulations, and the range-restricted option means the entire
