Diver tracking system
Acoustics communication and monitoring
Diver consoles enable diver-to-diver communication with position tracking and short message exchange.
This efficient communication and tracking system for divers is based on an EvoLogics S2C underwater data network. It also features USBL (Ultra-Short Baseline) positioning.
A diver tracking buoy equipped with GNSS and Wi-Fi provides a two-way link from land or a support vessel to divers equipped with lightweight plotters based on compact EvoLogics 18/34 modems.
System capabilities
• The surface team can track divers, monitor their positions, send messages and set/modify waypoints,
• Divers can see their own position and that of team members on a visual map,
• Divers can define and receive waypoints and points of interest, and share them with all team members,
• Locations can be marked with geo-absolute coordinates for future use and/or vehicle deployment,
• Divers can communicate with each other and with the surface team.
