Overview

Mini-ROVNav 6+ is designed to be significantly lighter and smaller than our standard ROVNav 6+ instrument, whilst providing full 6G LBL capabilities.

This makes it particularly suitable for inspection-class ROVs as well now uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) which can be configured to undertake routine LBL operations over-the-horizon from your survey vessel.

Its full support of  Wideband 2 signal processing techniques offers long range and robust acoustic performance in challenging conditions such as on noisy vehicles or in multi-path environments.

At a glance

• Use it with Fusion 2
• Perfect when ROV space is limited
• USBL mode for emergency relocation
• Lightweight and easy to install
• Modem mode for data recovery from AMTs and Fetch instruments

Mini-ROVNav 6+ is also a fully compatible USBL responder or transponder compatible with Sonardyne Wideband 1 and 2 USBL systems and HPR 400. The internal Li-ion rechargeable battery pack also enables emergency transponder mode, so if the umbilical and therefore power is cut to the ROV it can still be located using a vessel equipped with a USBL system.

The integrated omni-directional MF transducer has a hemispherical beam pattern which is ideal for acoustics to an array and to a vessel alike.

Mini-ROVNav 6+ is fully compatible with our modem and logging equipment such as AMT and Fetch products, allowing it to be used to retrieve data or configure logging regimes. Data rates of between 100 to 9,000 bps user data rates can be supported depending on the environment.
