RJE International, Inc. is changing the way subsea vehicle navigate with the SEEKER acoustic receivers. A cost effective solution to marking and relocating equipment or sites in deep water environments where only subsea vehicles can operate.
The VADR-1000M and the VADR-6000M are unique directional receivers which can be fitted on ROVs, AUVs, and submersibles to support oilfield subsea construction, deep-sea oceanology research and even “Black Box” recovery.These small compact directional receivers can track and locate common underwater acoustic beacons that operate from 25 to 45Khz.
In addition, the SEEKER receivers can also become an interrogator to accurately locate underwater transponders. Designed to operate in depths of up to 6000 meters, the SEEKER acoustic receivers interface with the vehicle through a RS232 data interface and software that is provided with the unit.
Already in use by Oceaneering Technologies for submersible navigation and the Danish Coast Guard for aircraft “Black Box Recovery”, the SEEKER acoustic receivers are another example of innovation from RJE International.
