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%.
