NIMROD V2 - Underwater Navigation & Sonar System
Description
A compact and light-weight, modular, diver hand-held, underwater sonar and navigation console.
The system combines standard:
• GPS receivers – internal & external
• 15m tether and float
• Mission planning
• Digital compass/gyroscope
• Depth reading
• Clock/stopwatch
Typical uses are the search & relocation of the following:
• Unexploded ordnance by navy mine clearance divers
• Commercial EOD divers
• Seabed infrastructure within the offshore oil & gas environment (e.g. pipelines, well heads and structures)
• Lost property, vehicles, aircraft, wrecks by police or search and rescue divers
• Seabed/lake-bed antiquities by marine biologists, archaeologists, sport divers, etc.
