Q-TRACK USBLS

FLANQ USVs are designed to carry Ultra-Short Baseline (USBL) acoustic systems, enabling precise tracking and reliable wireless communication with underwater vehicles, instruments and divers.

Accurate underwater positioning and robust communication are crucial for successful subsea operations. FLANQ USVs offer seamless integration with Sonardyne’s Mini-Ranger 2 and Micro-Ranger 2 USBL systems, from Forcys, providing operators with the tools they need for precise tracking, command and control, and data telemetry with ROVs and AUVs operating at ranges of up to 4,000 metres

SONARDYNE MINI-RANGER 2

Mini-Ranger 2 is a compact and versatile USBL system ideal for use from a wide range of surface platforms including crewed and uncrewed vessels. It provides high-accuracy positioning and robust two-way acoustic communication, enabling precise tracking of ROVs and AUVs and relocation of seabed equipment and instruments. Its robust acoustic link supports data telemetry, allowing for the transmission of sensor data and other critical information.

SONARDYNE MICRO-RANGER 2

Micro-Ranger 2 is an ultra-compact and lightweight USBL system designed for smaller USVs and shallow water operations, including special forces diver tracking. Despite its small size, it offers impressive positioning accuracy and reliable acoustic communication capabilities to a range of 995 metres. This makes it ideal for coastal surveys, port security applications, and operations in confined spaces. Like the Mini-Ranger 2, it supports wireless sensor data telemetry.

FLANQ USVs with Sonardyne USBL payloads deliver precise underwater tracking and robust communication for enhanced maritime operations.

FEATURES

1

THE MARKET LEADING USBL

Track with the best. Sonardyne is the market leader for USBLs systems with a track record of performance in any water depth, for any operation.

2

WIDEBAND DIGITAL SIGNALS

Mini and Micro Ranger 2 USBLs use proprietary Wideband 2+ acoustic signal architecture, delivering precise and repeatable positioning

3

NO NEED TO BE AN EXPERT

Mini and Micro Ranger 2 USBLs are designed for novice users to enjoy success thanks to their intuitive UI’s and automated hardware setup tools.

4

COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT

The compact and lightweight design, particularly of the Micro-Ranger 2, makes these systems ideal for integration onto small USVs like T12 with limited payload capacity, without compromising sea keeping performance.
