Diver Tracking and Positioning
In diver tracking and navigation tasks, maintaining accurate positioning and communication with divers is essential for ensuring their safety and effectiveness. Water Linked's DVL and UGPS systems are used to support the precise tracking of divers, both during training exercises and operational missions. Our 3D sonar technology can be integrated into diver systems to simplify navigation to targets of interest and maneuvering in closed spaces with poor visibility.
Additionally, the acoustic modem can provide direct wireless communication between divers and surface operators, enabling urgent instructions to be transmitted quickly and efficiently. By leveraging Water Linked's products, defense companies can enhance diver safety and mission effectiveness, ultimately achieving faster and more accurate results.
AUV Navigation and Positioning
Enhance the autonomy of your AUVs with Water Linked's advanced navigation and communication technologies. Precise and reliable navigation is crucial for AUVs undertaking complex defense related tasks like underwater surveys, inspections and detailed seabed mapping. Our products are designed to increase your AUVs' autonomy by providing accurate navigation data, tracking capabilities, real-time imaging, and dependable communication.
With Water Linked's integrated technologies, your AUVs can operate more independently, efficiently, and effectively in complex underwater environments.
ROV Navigation and Positioning
Revolutionize your ROV missions with Water Linked's cutting-edge technologies that conquer even the most challenging underwater conditions. ROV pilots often face strong currents, poor visibility, and communication barriers that can jeopardize mission success. Our advanced solutions enhance navigation precision, vehicle control, visibility, and communication, ensuring reliable performance in any environment.
Equip your ROV with Water Linked's innovative technology and master any underwater environment.
Underwater Communication
The ability to wirelessly transfer data packets underwater is invaluable for a wide range of applications. However, due to the sophisticated technology involved, this capability has traditionally been limited to large-scale operations with substantial budgets, extensive crews, and specialized vessels.
With its high performance, small size and affordable price point, the Modem M16 has made wireless underwater communication available to a wider range of users to help them gather data from previously unreachable depths.
A practical example of where an acoustic modem like the M16 can prove invaluable is when an AUV needs to be contacted by the person responsible for monitoring its progress, and the AUV can receive a short message to alter a planned mission in real-time without recovering the AUV.
Sonar Imaging
At Water Linked, we specialize in cutting-edge sonar technology like our Sonar 3D-15, an advanced real-time, forward-looking multibeam imaging sonar that creates intricate 3D point cloud models. Unlike a 2D sonar, which offers limited single-plane views requiring extensive training to interpret, our 3D sonar delivers
comprehensive, easy-to-understand images of underwater environments, enhancing decision-making speed and accuracy.
Each acoustic "ping" generates a complete 3D image without the need for scanning or post-processing, which is critical for navigation and obstacle avoidance. With real-time 3D data from our compact Sonar 3D-15, new opportunities for advanced autonomy in underwater operations are emerging.
Enhance the autonomy of your operations in sensing and surveillance
With the latest technologies from Water Linked, defense companies can benefit from enhanced autonomy in their operations, reducing risk to personnel, and increasing operational efficiency. Our products offer defense companies the capabilities they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex security environment.
Product features
Small size
Our sensors are all developed to fit on small vehicles as well as bigger ones, without compromising performance.
