Kongsberg Maritime Extends its Acoustic Range
01 Aug 2006
Kongsberg Maritime in Norway has extended its HiPAP series of acoustic positioning and underwater navigation systems with introduction of a portable 350P model which, it says, heralds a new era of positioning for vessels of opportunity.
Featuring a new and compact transducer containing a complete transceiver and an accurate motion reference unit, it is claimed to be the only automatic beam steering portable transducer now available. The transducer is designed for mounting on a shaft which can be installed over the side or via a moonpool of a vessel. It can be tilted so as to have its 120-degree coneoperating area in the sector of a required area with the motion reference unit compensating for tilt. Extra calibration or mechanical fine adjustment is not required.
