LRAB Adds AUV Control from >50km

Posted: 2011-09-12

Omnitech upgrades Long Range Acoustic Bearing (LRAB) AUV homing sensor to add vehicle state control messaging capabilities. The new upgrade encodes a requested vehicle operating state into the homing beacon signal allowing operator control from distances greater than 50 km. System was used successfully during UNCLOS data collection trials in the Canadian Arctic.

Real-time Magnetic Monitoring

Posted: 2011-08-02

Omnitech Electronics awarded contract to design and build an Onboard Magnetic Monitoring System for the CFAV Quest. The system, consisting of 17 orientation compensated triaxial magnetometers distributed along the port and starboard sides of the ship and atop the communications mast, allows monitoring of the ship’s magnetic signature in realtime.

UPDATE: The system was successfully evaluated during sea trials in Norway and Germany in the fall of 2011.

ATS Pinpoints AUV from Under the Ice

Posted: 2011-06-02

Omnitech awarded contract to design and build Acoustic Transmit System (ATS) for installation on NRCan Explorer Class AUV.

The ATS allows operators to precisely locate and track the AUV while operating under surface ice and at depth. Vehicle status messages are also encoded into the ATS signals allowing operators to monitor the AUV mission status and error conditions.

DSIMS gets Tempest Upgrade

Posted: 2011-03-08

Omnitech provides an upgrade for their Diver Signature Integrated Management System (DSIMS) for Canadian International TEMPEST Program requirements. The new optical data transmission option reduces electromagnetic radiation of data signals. DSIMS is used by the Canadian Navy Fleet Diving Unit for mine clearance diver training.

Submarine Displays

Posted: 2011-03-03

Omnitech receives an order for design and supply of Form-Fit-Functional replacements for the obsolete Farnell DPM2A display units installed on Canada’s Victoria Class Submarines. Omnitech’s replacement displays provide superior environmental and performance specifications over the OEM units.

Omnitech Acoustics Reach New Depths at Great Lengths
