   • Uses underwater acoustic signals to determine the vessel’s position relative to fixed or moving transponders.
   • Suitable for both shallow and deep-water operations, offering flexibility in various marine environments.
2. High Accuracy and Reliability
   • Provides position data with sub-meter accuracy, ensuring precise navigation and dynamic positioning.
   • Robust design for harsh marine conditions, with resistance to saltwater, vibrations, and extreme temperatures.
3. Multiple Transponder Support
   • Can interface with multiple transponders simultaneously, enhancing positioning redundancy and accuracy.
   • Supports long-range communication with transponders, expanding operational coverage.
4. User-Friendly Interface
   • Intuitive setup and configuration via a dedicated software interface.
   • Real-time position monitoring and diagnostics for easy system management.
5. Compatibility and Integration
   • Compatible with SIMRAD’s ecosystem of marine navigation and automation systems.
   • Seamless integration with DP systems, radar, ECDIS, and other vessel control systems.
6. Safety and Compliance
   • Meets international maritime standards for positioning systems, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
   • Redundant power supplies and communication links for enhanced reliability.

Applications

• Dynamic Positioning (DP) Systems: Critical for offshore vessels, drillships, and FPSOs requiring precise station-keeping.
• Vessel Tracking and Navigation: Used in survey vessels, research ships, and military applications for accurate positioning.
• Construction and Dredging: Ensures precise positioning of construction vessels and dredging equipment.
