Sonardyne Ranger 2 Acoustic Positioning System Product Leaflet
The Sonardyne Ranger 2 is a survey-grade Ultra-Short Baseline (USBL) acoustic positioning system designed for deep water, long-range tracking of underwater targets such as ROVs, towfish, and AUVs. It serves as a position reference for dynamically positioned (DP) vessels by calculating the position of subsea targets through range and bearing measurements from vessel-mounted transceivers to target transponders.
The system is available in two versions: the standard configuration tracks up to 10 simultaneous subsea targets, while the Ranger 2 Pro version supports tracking an unlimited number of targets with features like multiple transceiver interfacing and subsea INS integration. The system utilizes Sonardyne's Wideband 2 signal architecture for precise ranging and fast data telemetry.

Sonardyne AST 7904 Acoustic Switch Transponder Datasheet
The Type 7904 Acoustic Switch Transponder (AST) is designed to provide Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) with an emergency system that operates independently of all other systems. Reception of a sequence of acoustic commands causes a contact closure within the AST, which can be used to release a weight and cause the vehicle to rise to the surface.
