µPAP 201-C

The µPAP is an integrated SSBL acoustic positioning solution, complete with a motion sensor and processing unit integrated into one subsea housing. It is remotely controlled via Ethernet access, allowing the user to select transponders or send data for acoustic modem transfer to a modem on a subsea vehicle. The system also supports remote operation using APOS, the standard operator station software for HiPAP and µPAP systems.

APOS, the operator station for μPAP, provides the full range of functions for acoustic positioning and data communication. μPAP benefits from the Cymbal acoustic protocol and all functions that are available for the HiPAP products are also available for μPAP. μPAP has full LBL calibration and positioning capabilities and can be used for position box in, calibration and positioning. The system is offering the user a wide range of transponder channels and cNODE transponder models for depths down to 4000 metres.

µPAP has built in motion sensors for compensating the position for vessels roll and pitch movements. These models have no need for calibration of roll and pitch alignments but need to calibrate for alignment on USV to the vessels’ gyro compass. The system can be interfaced to the vessel heading sensor and GNSS system. Data output to users are available in established formats. The system can also be remotely operated by use of APOS over remote connection. APOS is the standard operator station software for HiPAP and µPAP systems.
