DiveNET: GPS Pro

Portable and Rapidly Deployable True Underwater GPS (LBL)

Portable and rapidly deployable, high precision, wide area, wireless underwater GPS. Inverted Long Base Line (ILBL) array consists of four hand-portable Acoustic GPS Buoys (AGB) positioned up to 700 m apart. Unlimited number of passive Acoustic GPS Receivers (AGR) in the working area provide GPS emulation output at a rate of 1 Hz. AGR available as standalone GPS receiver for integration with carrier systems or coupled with a Diver Display Unit (DDU) for diver navigation.

Description

DiveNET: GPS Pro is a portable, self-contained and rapidly deployable wireless wide-area underwater acoustic GPS navigation system based on a 4-buoy floating Long Base Line (LBL) array.

DiveNET: GPS Pro provides absolute, 3D coordinate underwater positioning and true GPS navigation inside the zone of coverage for an unlimited number of passive subsea Acoustic GPS Receivers (AGR).

The Acoustic GPS Receiver is available in standalone configuration for easy integration with carrier systems through UART and NMEA interfacing standards.

A dedicated Diver Navigation Set includes a display unit supporting waypoint navigation, mark point setting ‘on the fly’, 8 hours of track recording and export to KML/GPX format for quick post-dive review.

DiveNET: GPS is designed for robust, straight forward operation in real world conditions, requiring minimal configuration and maintenance.

Maximum depth: 300 m (AGR) / 120 m (diver set).
