RedWave navigation system

We have addressed every problem you have already run into, or are likely to. Most comparable systems, for example, only track underwater objects one at a time. That seriously limits your ability to track several divers or robots in the same area. Another issue is complex setup and inevitable interference in shallow water, which most comparable systems cannot handle.

RedWave outperforms nearly every alternative in ease of use and reliability

The system is designed to be as easy to use as possible. Deploying the system and connecting any of its parts takes a single button press — no preliminary setup or calibration is required

The system works on the same principle as satellite navigation and provides precise, simultaneous tracking of an unlimited number of objects when diving in any body of water, even in shallow water. It operates like GPS/GLONASS, but without a radio signal, which is useless underwater. You get accurate, interference-free coordinates for divers and robots, and the whole system is compact enough to fit in a small case — anyone can operate it, even without special training!

The RedWave system is designed to obtain the precise location of various underwater objects:

• divers and technical divers;
• manned submersibles;
• remotely operated vehicles (ROVs);
• autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

• Use the system simultaneously for an unlimited number of divers or controlled underwater objects

• Upload waypoints and plan diver navigation along a pre-built route

• Get 3D navigation data on object positions

• Save the current position data for objects

• Record the movement tracks of objects

• All system functions are available with no extra setup or calibration: just switch the system on and start getting position data!

The system's logic is simple: the required base (4 RedBase navigation units) plus RedNav diver navigators or RedNode robot navigators. RedBase buoys are placed on the surface of the water body and form a navigation base that determines the coordinates of an unlimited number of underwater objects at the same time!

System for providing divers with navigation data

• RedBase – acoustic navigation relay buoy. Four units required.
• RedNav – diver's navigator for determining the diver's geographic position without surfacing.

System for locating other underwater objects

• RedBase — acoustic navigation relay buoy. Four units required.
• RedNode – navigation receiver for determining its own coordinates, emulating the protocol of standard GNSS receivers.

RedWave is a system that works on the principle of high-precision satellite systems, applied to underwater objects. We call it “underwater GPS”.

• Real-time operation in absolute geographic coordinates
• Compact system
• Simple PC connection
• No setup or calibration required for the system or its individual parts – the system is ready to work in any configuration
• Low power consumption
• High accuracy regardless of where the navigation receivers are positioned within the base
