HiPAP applications and features

A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

HiPAP is able to operate in shallow and deepwater areas to proven ranges to about 5000+ meters (MF) and 10000 meters (HiPAP10x - LF). It is a multi-purpose system used for a wide range of applications including:

  • Towfish & towed platform tracking
  • Seabed reference for Dynamic Positioning of a vessel
  • High accuracy subsea metrology and positioning
  • Telemetry and scientific research

Optional enhanced operation is available with Hydroacoustic Aided Inertial Navigation - HAIN. The HAIN system increases the HiPAP SSBL positioning accuracy by a factor of up to 300%.
