The Mark III ROV Locator takes the ease of use of a cost-effective underwater positioning solution to a new level. With the supplied topside SonarView software, you can get up and running in no time or use the open API to integrate the Mk III with your own software. The MK III has a 300m depth rating, and with no timebase drift, the system can remain submerged indefinitely without losing slant range accuracy.
Description
The Mk III ROV Locator bundle includes a deepside unit (usually mounted on the ROV or AUV) and a topside unit (usually located on the surface). It also comes with a bracket for your ROV or AUV. ROV/AUV integration can be as simple as just supplying power from the vehicle battery. You can also add a dedicated battery for the Mk III to track the vehicle in case of primary battery failure. Simply apply power, start the dive and track the ROV location in real-time on the free SonarView software. If using a Mavlink enabled vehicle, SonarView can also update QGroundControl. USB communication to the topside unit is available, and the open API is documented in the user manual.
In operation, the topside unit sends an interrogation sonar pulse to the deepside unit, which returns a sonar reply. The slant range is calculated from the round-trip time of flight. Unlike the Mk II systems, start-of-mission timebase synchronization is never needed. The Mk III system can remain submerged indefinitely without fear of slant range accuracy drift. Only one Mk III pair can operate in an area at one time.
