Description

The HPT Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) and telemetry transceiver is a new high performance platform which supports Sonardyne’s Wideband^®2 6G^®instruments and offers significant improvements in acoustic USBL positioning and telemetry performance.

The advanced multi-element processing enables transponders to be positioned more precisely, more quickly and more robustly due to improvements in signal processing algorithms and array design. When used as part of a complete USBL positioning system such as Marksman or Ranger 2 and tightly integrated with Sonardyne’s Lodestar attitude, heading and inertial navigation sensor, class leading performance in all water depths is achieved.
