Sonardyne Brasil has supplied Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) positioning technology to track science equipment and underwater vehicles deployed from Brazil’s oceanographic research vessel, Alpha Crucis.
The 64 m-long vessel, which is operated by the University of São Paulo, undertakes research projects spanning global climate change to biodiversity in Brazilian waters. It will be equipped with a Sonardyne Ranger 2 USBL high precision acoustic positioning system to enable the Alpha Crucis’ science team to precisely track their instruments and sensors to beyond 7 km.
