The MicronNav system is an innovative USBL tracking system designed for small ROV / AUV. It has been primarily designed to be used in conjunction with the Tritech Micron sonar and other Tritech Micron products.
The system comprises of a subsea MicronNav unit, a surface USBL transducer unit with integral Magnetic Compass and Pitch / Roll sensors, a surface Micron Nav 100 interface module and operating software under control of the customer host PC / Laptop.
MicronNav uses the very latest in Spread Spectrum acoustic technology, which provides a robust method for communications between the dunking transducers and the vehicle responder/ transponder.
The UBSL Tracking Systemcan be used as stand-alone unit, powered by and communicating with the MicronNav through a spare RS232 port on the ROV (at 9600 baud) or RS485 through a spare screened twisted pair in the umbilical. Alternatively it can be integrated with the Tritech Micron sonar communicating via the sonar RS232 aux port.
