Kongsberg HiPAP 352P Portable acoustic positioning system

The HiPAP 352P is a portable system designed for tracking

ROV’s, tow fish, divers and other subsea objects at several

thousand metres range. The system operates in SSBL mode

where it measures the distance and direction to subsea

transponders and computes a 3D position in local coordinates

or in geographical coordinates. HiPAP 352P is designed

to be a portable system for easy installation on surface vessels

or other surface units. APOS, the operator station for HiPAP 352P,

provides the full range of functions for acoustic positioning and

data communication. HiPAP 352P bene fits from the Cymbal

acoustic protocol and all functions that are available for the

HiPAP products are also available for HiPAP 352P.

HiPAP 352P has full LBL calibration and positioning capabilities

and can be used for position box in, calibration and positioning.

The system is offering the user a wide range of transponder

channels and cNODE transponder models for depths down to

4000 meters. HiPAP 352P has built in motion sensors for

compensating the position for vessels roll and pitch movements.

These models have no need for calibration of roll and pitch

alignments but need to calibrate for alignment to the vessels’ gyro

compass. The system can be interfaced to the vessel heading sensor

and GNSS system. Data output to users are available in established

formats. The HiPAP 352P-MGC contains a motion sensor and a gyro

compass. This model has no need for calibration to determine roll,

pitch and heading alignments. To meet various demands from the

marked, HiPAP 352P transducer is available in several models with

respect to motion and heading sensors.

HiPAP 352P-H

Built-in MRU-H motion sensor for roll/pitch compensation.

• No heading information

HiPAP352P-5

Built-in MRU-5 motion sensor for roll/pitch compensation.

• No heading information

HiPAP 352P-MGC

Built-in MGC RT inertial measurement unit for roll/pitch and

heading compensation. No need for calibration to determine

roll, pitch and heading alignments.
