The Easytrak Pyxis USBL takes the best of applied acoustic engineering’s USBL technology and combines it with a highly advanced inertial navigation system (INS) from one of the most respected names in the industry, to create a state-of-the-art, inertially aided Ultra Short Baseline system capable of accurate subsea tracking with survey grade performance. The high precision combination of aae’s Sigma 2 acoustic protocols and SBG Systems’ OEM version of the Navsight Apogee INS brings together two leading names in the field of marine technology, resulting in aae’s most accurate and long-range positioning system, providing many time, cost and performance benefits to global survey operators.
As a tightly coupled, factory-fitted package, Pyxis is a calibration free system able to immediately operate from any vessel as soon as the work site has been reached. The MEMS-based INS does not fall under ITAR regulations, and the range-restricted option means the whole system can be shipped unhindered and without export control to almost anywhere in the world.
Available with omni-directional and directional transceiver options, and boasting an accuracy of up to 0.1% of slant range, the versatility and enhanced capabilities of Pyxis makes it the go-to choice for critical USBL operations.
