| Definition | An acoustic positioning system for deep water, long range tracking of underwater targets and position referencing for dynamically positioned (DP) vessels. It calculates the position of a subsea target, for example an ROV, by measuring the range and bearing from a vessel-mounted transceiver to an acoustic transponder fitted to the target. It supports 6G acoustic systems and inverted USBL (iUSBL) tracking. It is available in two versions. In standard configuration, Ranger 2 allows up to 10 subsea targets to be simultaneously tracked from a surface vessel. In Ranger 2 Pro configuration, any number of subsea targets can be tracked. The positioning accuracy obtainable from either configuration can be improved by interfacing the system directly into Sonardyne Lodestar attitude and heading reference system (Optimised Ranger 2). It has an operating range of over 6000 m. It has a system accuracy of 0.2% of Slant Range (0.1% of Slant Range for optimised system). |
