Deeply Innovative: Drivers in Subsea Defense
is equally as critical as navigation and sensing, and MTR100 companies are pioneering solutions that enable navies to create highly integrated and distributed subsea networks.Sonardyne has long been a leader in subsea communications and positioning. Its BlueComm optical modem provides high-speed wireless data transfer between vehicles or from vehicle to surface, while their Ranger 2 USBL and Compatt 6+ LBL systems can double as communications networks, enabling AUVs, ROVs, and divers to share navigation data and mission updates.EvoLogics pushes acoustic communications further with its patented, dolphin-inspired
Automated Winches with Wireless Charging & Comms for SVP / CTD
CTD profiles from user specified depths during live operations, enabling surveys to be carried more quickly and cover a wider area in a given deployment. The winches are fitted with an instrument capture mechanism which allows for seamless recharging on recovery of the instrument to the surface. Wireless data transfer is accomplished simultaneously using the instruments integrated WiFi transmitter.The winches are easily integrated into most USV control systems, with status notifications for docking, zero position and payout readings. Each winch can accommodate a wide variety of ropes/cables and slipring
Drill Rig Noise: Entering the Exclusion Zone, Quietly
starting to accelerate,” says Burnett.For this project, the 5m-long AutoNaut system was chosen. The Islay AutoNaut was equipped with a 25m-long two-channel towed hydrophone array and a hull-mounted PAM. It had 1,800 m line of sight control, iridium communications and Wi-fi data access for wireless data transfer at sea. “It has quiet wave-foil propulsion to minimise contamination of the data, needs zero fuel because it harvests energy from waves to move forward and proven command and control,” says Burnett. It could be monitored and controlled using iridium communications and via local
WiFi & GPS to X-Series Profilers
Streamline SVP data collection with AML’s WiFi device, Data Xchange. Following Beta trials, Data Xchange is set for a March 2015 release. Bringing the benefits of long-range WiFi to X-Series profilers, the device enables wireless data transfer and integrated GPS positioning. Upon surfacing, Data Xchange transfers collected data through an automated WiFi link between profiler and computer at a rate 40 times faster than via cable. “When designing this product, we made backwards compatibility an absolute must. It was important to us to make sure existing customers could experience the benefits
