Phins is an inertial navigation system providing position, true heading, attitude, speed, depth and heave.
Its high-accuracy inertial measurement unit is based on exail’s fiber-optic gyroscope technology coupled with an embedded digital signal processor that runs an advanced Kalman filter.
The fifth generation Octans is an all-in-one gyrocompass and motion sensor for diverse challenging applications. The new Octans raises the industry standard in measurement accuracy for roll, pitch, heave, and heading while making available inertial navigation system (INS) product upgrade path and IMO-HSC certifi cation. Octans is built on exail’s trusted and unique ultimate-performance fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) technology (thousands of units manufactured).
Applications
Survey (MBES/Lidar) – DP (Dynamic Positioning) – Motion monitoring Platform stabilization – Safe robust navigation, including environments without GPS (e.g. tunneling, defense)
OCTANS NANO offers an outstanding price/performance solution, with rugged titanium housing, meeting the most challenging requirements of subsea applications.
OCTANS 3000 is a subsea survey-grade gyrocompass and complete motion sensor for water depths up to 3,000m. Based on exail’s FOG technology it outputs heading, roll, pitch, heave, rate of turn and acceleration. OCTANS 3000 can be easily upgraded to full INS mode (i.e. ROVINS).
Hydrins is a high-performance inertial navigation system optimized for hydrographic surveys using multibeam echosounders.
Hydrins comprises a single compact unit and delivers highly accurate real-time position, heading, attitude and speed data.
In addition to the real-time options, Hydrins raw data can be post-processed using Delph INS.
Gaps is a high performance Ultra Short Baseline positioning system for locating subsea assets. It combines an USBL antenna and a fiber-optic inertial navigation system (INS) in the same housing.
USBL calibration on the field is not required anymore. Advanced acoustic techniques including wideband signals ensure maximum performance in most difficult conditions.
Its unique 3D acoustic array enables tracking from the deep sea to extremely shallow water, and even at angles above horizontal.
SMARTSEARCH consists of an array of magnetic sensors mounted on a frame, which may be mounted on an ROV, or towed over the seabed or on land. The tracking swath may be adjusted from a single sensor to a maximum of twelve sensors, with spacing varied to suit the search criteria.
A wide array allows an ROV to search along a linear target such as a pipe or cable. High speed data acquisition gives high productivity.
