Sonardyne- Ranger 2 acoustic positioning system

Image : Width 188mm

Long range subsea target tracking and reference.

Descriptions
Ranger 2 is a survey grade Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) acoustic
positioning system designed for deep water, long range tracking of
underwater targets and position referencing for dynamically
positioned (DP) vessels. The system calculates the position of a
subsea target, for example an ROV, by measuring the range and
bearing from a vessel-mounted transceiver to an acoustic
transponder fitted to the target. Multiple subsea targets over a wide
area and range of water depths can be simultaneously and precisely
positioned.

6G®Technology
Ranger 2 builds on the simplicity and reliability of Sonardyne’s
original Ranger system but adds support for the latest 6G® (Sixth
Generation) acoustic instruments and Wideband 2 signal
architecture. 6G® systems offer precise acoustic ranging, fast data
telemetry and hardware that is easier to set up and operate even in
the most challenging subsea operating environments. These features
improve the efficiency of survey operations, reduce vessel delays and
generate cost savings for owners.

Ranger Product Family

Ranger 2 is available in two versions. In standard configuration,
Ranger 2 allows up to 10 subsea targets to be simultaneously
tracked from a surface vessel. Operating ranges of greater than
6,000 metres are achievable and the system supports a wide range
of industry standard survey and DP output telegrams. One second
position updates are achievable in any water depth.
Ranger 2 Pro is designed for complex operations where any number
of subsea targets can be tracked. Multiple transceivers and attitude
compensation sensors can be simultaneously interfaced into Ranger
2 Pro allowing for highly redundant, bespoke installations. Ranger 2 Lodestar AHRS + HPT: The combination of Sonardyne’s

by interfacing the system directly into Lodestar, Sonardyne’s
premium quality Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS).
This configuration is referred to as Optimised Ranger 2.
In an Optimised Ranger 2 system, the Lodestar is co-located with the
vessel’s 6G® acoustic transceiver. The main advantage is that they
are directly connected, enabling raw USBL range and bearing data to
be simultaneously processed with the Lodestar’s attitude data. This
integration achieves a tightly compensated solution that enables a
system accuracy of 0.1% of slant range to be achieved. An Optimised
Ranger 2 is therefore able to meet the positioning specifications of
subsea projects that previously may have required the use of
alternative acoustic positioning techniques.

Inverted Tracking
Ranger 2 supports Inverted USBL (iUSBL) tracking of towfish over
long laybacks. Rather than mounting the USBL transceiver on the DP Reference:Ranger 2 installed in a DP desk. The system supports
all industry stand DP telegrams, providing accurate and repeatable

installed on the towed body itself. This method eliminates the need
for repeated system calibration, whilst the accuracy and repeatability
of the acoustics is improved as the transceiver is located in a low
noise, dynamically stable environment.

System Configuration:
Bridge / Instrument Room Hardware
Onboard, the Navigation Sensor Hub (NSH) is the interface between
the in-water acoustic instruments, sensors and the Navigation
Computer which runs the Ranger 2 software application. In addition
to accurately time-stamping incoming data from external devices
such as gyro, VRU and GPS, the NSH also provides power and
communications for vessel’s acoustic transceiver.
The Ranger 2 software application is easy and intuitive to use,
Software:Ranger 2’s software interface is intuitive and easyto learn,
requiring only basic operator training to become familiar with it. It ensuring users quickly gain confidence.
includes an extensive array of tools to allow the user to assess the
performance of the system, including real-time acoustic quality
indicators, noise analysis and signal travel time displays.
Acoustic positioning operations can be remotely monitored on a
vessel network using a serial connection from Ranger 2 to
Sonardyne’s Viewpoint software application. Viewpoint supports .dwg
format backgrounds, on-screen guidance, measurementtools,
configurable vehicle outline shapes and offsets, waypoints and
geodesy.

Acoustic Transceiver
HPT is a high performance, vessel-mounted acoustic transceiver that
enables transponders being tracked with Ranger 2 to be precisely
positioned. A number of different array designs are available from full
Transponder Options:Ranger 2 compatible transponders are available ina

layback targets at shallow angles, a tilt adaptor enables the
transceiver to keep the target being tracked within the ideal operating
envelope of its array.HPT transceivers can also be used as modems
 Sonardyne- Ranger 2 acoustic positioning system

Transceiver Deployment
The deployment method of the HPT transceiver is critical to Ranger 2’s
positioning performance. It should ideally be rigidly mounted to the
vessel well below the keel away from any weather or vessel induced
aeration.
Sonardyne’s hydraulic through-hull deployment systems are extremely
rigid and ideal for permanent vessel installation, whether new-build or
retro-fit. For short-term projects on vessels-of-opportunity, a high
quality over-the-side deployment system is available that is practical to
transport and install on a vessel whilst it is alongside.

Vessel Reference Sensors

All USBL systems need to remove the effects of vessel motion upon
the transceiver. To do this they are interfaced to heading, pitch and roll
motion sensors of a quality appropriate to the accuracy required for the Sonardyne Ranger 2 system cofuration.

operation and water depth. Ranger 2 supports a wide range of these

sensor types including Sonardyne’s own Lodestar AHRS unit which, for
optimum system performance, should be mounted close to the vessel’s
HPT transceiver.

Lodestar GyroUSBL
Sonardyne’s GyroUSBL instrument combines a HPT transceiver and
Lodestar AHRS in the same housing. With the AHRS in fixed
mechanical alignment to the HPT’s acoustic array, the requirement for
a total system calibration to determine the alignment of the ship’s
motion sensors to the transceiver is, in many situations, eliminated.
This saves operational time and vessel costs.

6G® Subsea Transponders

Ranger 2 supports previous generation Sonardyne transponders, for
example WSM, and many transponders from other manufacturers.
However the maximum benefits of the system can only be realised
when using exclusively 6G® transponders. WMT is a small, lightweight
unit generally used for tracking mobile targets such as ROVs. It
features a responder trigger for fast position updates and is depth rated
up to 3,000 metres. DPT 6 is designed for DP reference and large
target tracking. The unit is fitted with a highly reliable acoustic release
mechanism to enable it to be deployed on the seabed in a floatation
collar and later recovered to the surface without ROV intervention.
Compatt 6 is Sonardyne’s most advanced USBL and LBL transponder.
Its integrated communications and navigation technology allows it to be
used as a position reference transponder for DP, a multi-purpose
modem and autonomous data logger.

matter what the application, the reliability and usability
of your cleaned bathymetric and side scan sonar
survey data is critical. Based on its reputation for
rigorous and proven algorithms, CARIS HIPS, for
processing large bathymetric datasets, and CARIS
SIPS, for processing side scan sonar imagery and
multibeam backscatter data, have been selected
number one among marine and hydrographic
specialists for over 10 years.

Purpose- built processing

Area and line based cleaning, 3D visualization,
integrated sensor cleaning tools. These are but a few of
Caris HIPS &SIPS System Configuration
the features that clearly suggest one thing: CARIS
HIPS and CARIS SIPS are purpose-built processing
and production systems.

Information you can use

Tiling, contours, depth areas, shoal-biased sounding
selection and an interactive dynamic profile are among
the multitude of outputs that can be generated from
your clean bathymetry and sonar data. Bottom line,
CARIS software turns your survey data into information
you can use.

Engineered to work together

CARIS software systems are engineered to work
together. CARIS HIPS and CARIS SIPS are standalone
systems but are also capable of operating in unison
offering the functionality and format support allowing
you to take your clean data further.
