Ramses
Ramses is an acoustic synthetic baseline (ASBL) positioning system, enabling simple LBL and sparse-LBL subsea navigation for ROVs and AUVs. The transceiver can be tightly coupled with iXblue INS to provide extreme precision while requiring a greatly reduced number of transponders.
Features:
- Modes of operation: Sparse LBL positioning, with SLAM capability, and LBL
- Compatibility with iXblue INS and Canopus supervision software
- Embedded Kalman filter and LBL algorithms
- Full embedded processing, no top-side required
- Millimetre range measurement precision
- Embedded SV, Pressure and Temperature sensors
- Subsea switch & logger functionalities
- Acoustic communication (500 bits/s)
Benefits:
- Simplified mobilization for ROVs and AUVs
- LBL navigation accuracy with superior precision
- Reduced number of required transponders
- Flexible array deployment thanks to SLAM
- Fully operable in existing fields, reducing seabed transponder maintenance and vessel time
