Take a Long Look at 'Shorty'
01 Feb 2004
Kongsberg Maritime will launch several new products and focus on its range of underwater survey solutions on Stand 650 at this year's Oceanology International exhibition . The company will launch a new modular 'Short MPT transponder', depth rated for 4000m in response to the demand from the Offshore Survey & Construction industry for transponders with more functionality, in order to save survey, vessel and project time.
This multifunctional transponder has the capability of SSBL, LBL, Multi- User LBL and Metrology measurement with 3cm accuracy.
It can be configured in the field to include modular options comprising: split transducer head, release mechanism and serial interfacing to external sensors.
The new 'Shorty' MPT is fully compatible with all Kongsberg HPR and HiPAP acoustic systems in addition to the Hydro Acoustic Inertial Navigation System, HAIN.
Kongsberg Maritime hydro acoustic systems with the powerful Acoustic Operating Positioning Software system, APOS, and the new 'Shorty' transponder gives the user an extremely versatile package that brings substantial cost savings to any offshore project.
Also new at OI 2004 will be an addition to Kongsberg camera line-up. The Pan and Tilt Zoom (PATZ) Colour Camera is based on the OE14-112 ZRAT. The head control mechanism in the OE14-122 PATZ has been developed to give a Pan and Tilt capability whilst maintaining the same high quality Colour Zoom performance. This enables the OE14-122 to be mounted in a horizontal plane acting as a totally enclosed Pan, Tilt and Zoom forward-looking camera.
