The company has ordered multiple Sonardyne SPRINT-Nav X navigation systems - Sonardyne's highest grade and underwater navigation system.
The company has also selected Sonardyne’s AvTrak 6 for tracking, communications and mission control. Part of the package/purchase is multiple Sonardyne Ranger 2 Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) positioning and communications systems for both AUV end users and demonstration and testing.
