Navigation and positioning information is received via a small float containing the GPS antenna, and relayed to the Navigator display through a thin tether cable. Prior to diving, software running on a Windows PC is used to create Mission files containing waypoints and markers that can assist the diver to navigate a search-pattern or efficiently swim between locations. An immersion sensor automatically controls logging of the dive data to the Navigator's internal storage memory, while the diver's position, heading, depth and course history are shown on the Navigator's display. Additional information for the currently selected mission marker is shown along with course-to-swim and distance to the marker. The diver can add additional points of interest during the dive and these, along with the course and depth history, can be reviewed post-dive. 4 Sonar et Navigation Plongeur Blueprint Subsea The Navigator has a simple and intuitive user interface allowing the Diver to quickly interpret information presented via the 3.5" colour display, simple menu interface and five button keypad. Powered using a compact rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride battery pack, the Navigator will operate for over 10 hours from a single charge, while battery packs can be easily swapped on the surface between dives in a matter of minutes.

Primarily designed to assist commercial and search-and-rescue divers in localizing and relocating objects on the seabed, Artemis has also been specifically optimized for use by Naval Mine Clearance and EOD Divers to relocate items of ordnance as an alternative to conducting a tactile or circular search around a known datum. Typical uses for Artemis are search & relocation of... Unexploded ordnance by navy mine clearance divers, commercial EOD divers, etc. Seabed infrastructure within the offshore oil & gas environment (e.g. pipelines, well heads, structures). Missing persons, lost property, vehicles, aircraft, wrecks by police or search & rescue divers. Seabed/lakebed antiquities by marine biologists, archaeologists, sports divers, etc. Artemis is intuitive and straightforward to use, as the interface has been designed by divers for divers. The user can quickly interpret information presented via the simple menu interface and graphical display. Sonar, Navigation and other apps are selected and controlled via a simple 5-button interface. 9 Sonar et Navigation Plongeur Blueprint Subsea Prior to diving, the NavPoint PC software application allows creation of "Mission" files, containing navigation waypoints that the diver can choose as destinations during the dive. When the diver enters the water, an intergrated immersion sensor automatically detects the start of the dive and starts logging data from the sonar, navigation system and other sensors into a "Dive-Log" file. Additional navigation markers can also be added to the log-file by the diver as they encounter other targets or locations of interest. After the dive, using the 'plug-and-play' USB connection, data can be transferred from the internal Flash storage on Artemis and a Microsoft® Windows® based PC or laptop. The NavPoint software then allows reviewing of the dive-log data, synchronising the sonar imagery with the divers position and heading on a navigational chart. Data can be exported in a variety of formats for further use and analysis by third party software applications.

RNAV2 SIMULATOR Manned & Autonomous Vehicles with Navigation, Control & Communications for EOD and Maritime SOF stiddmil.com MADE IN U.S.A. Manned or Autonomous... The “All-In-One” Vehicle Moving easily between manned and autonomous roles, STIDD’s new generation of propulsion vehicles provide operators innovative options for an increasingly complex underwater environment. Over the past 20 years, STIDD built its Submersible line and flagship product, the Diver Propulsion Device (DPD), around the basic idea that divers would prefer riding a vehicle instead of swimming. Today, STIDD focuses on another simple, but transformative goal: design, develop, and integrate the most advanced Precision Navigation, Control, Communications, and Automation Technology available into the DPD to make that ride easier, more effective, and when desired . RIDERLESS! DPD2 - Manned Mode 1 DPD2 - OM2 Mode Precision Navigation, Control, Communications & Automation System for the DPD POWERED BY RNAV2 GREENSEA Building on the legacy of its Diver Propulsion Device (DPD), the most widely used combat vehicle of its kind, STIDD designed and developed a system of DPD Navigation, Control, Communications, and Automation features which enable a seamless transition between Manned and fully Autonomous modes. RNAV2 was developed by STIDD partnering with Greensea as the backbone of this capability. RNAV2 is powered by Greensea’s patent-pending OPENSEA™ operating platform, which not only enables RNAV2’s open architecture, but also seamlessly integrates STIDD’s OM2/AP2 Diver Assist /S2 Sonar/ AC2 Communications products into an intuitive, easy to use, autonomous system. When fully configured with the Precision Navigation, Control & Automation System including RNAV2/ OM2/AP2/S2/AC2, any DPD easily transitions between Manned, DPD with RNAV2 Installed Semi-Autonomous, and Full-Autonomous modes.

Male divers (15) volunteered exercise ticipate in five experimentalprocedures. A maximal graded in 29°C tethered finning test, two submaximal(30 min.) finning tests tests with and without wet suits, and twosubmaximal (30 min.) finning The variables in 18°C with and without wetsuits were performed.

  • Analysis of Bottom-Track and Compass Error in a Self-Contained Acoustic Doppler Diver Navigation Console
    JULY 2010 H E N C H A N D R O S M A N 1229 Analysis of Bottom-Track and Compass Error in a Self-Contained Acoustic Doppler Diver Navigation Console JAMES L. HENCH Marine Laboratory, Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University, Beaufort, North Carolina JOHANNA H. ROSMAN Institute of Marine Sciences, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Morehead City, North Carolina (Manuscript received 2 November 2009, in final form 16 February 2010) ABSTRACT The Cobra-Tac (Teledyne RD Instruments) is a self-contained diver navigation system based on acoustic Doppler velocity log (DVL) technology that uses dead reckoning to compute displacements from a known starting point. The navigational accuracy of the system was evaluated using a series of field tests with known solutions. Initial test data had an obvious directional bias in the navigation measurements, with positional errors as large as 5% of the track length. An analysis of this error showed that the DVL speed measurements were extremely accurate and that most of the position error could be explained by heading-dependent compass error. Compass error versus heading curves were different depending on whether a given route was mapped in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and further testing indicated that this was due to a combination of local magnetic field anomalies at the test site and instrument tilt. A postprocessing correction procedure, based on a one-cycle compass error model, was derived that significantly improves Cobra-Tac position estimates. After correction, position errors were well within manufacturer specifications. Further tests using new firmware that permitted in situ underwater compass calibration gave position errors of less than 1% of the track length.

Periodically, you need to disassemble the system and clean all the components separately. The TAC-100A and its components are designed for the rigors of un- derwater use and should provide many years of use, but keep in mind the TAC-100A is a diving instrument and should be treated as such.
