WAYU

Both the WAYU pinger and buoys switch on automatically when they hit the water and need no setup or calibration — only charging their built-in power sources.

The underwater object's position is easily passed from the WAYU application, via a serial port (physical or virtual), to any mapping software that supports standard GPS receivers over the NMEA0183 protocol.

• A professional-grade solution at an affordable price
• Positioning the underwater object in absolute geographic coordinates
• Extremely easy to use
• Switches on automatically in water
• Works out of the box — no calibration or setup required

• From each buoy to every other buoy there should be no more than 300 meters and no less than 30 meters
• From each buoy to the navigation receiver there should be no more than 300 meters; to ensure reliable reception of the buoys' radio signal, you may need to raise the receiving antenna a few meters higher
• The buoys should be arranged in a convex quadrangle so that its sides are approximately equal and differ by no more than 2 times
• The maximum diving depth of the pinger should not exceed the dimensions of the navigation base
• The greatest accuracy of the system is achieved within the buoy figure, and operation should always begin within this figure. Going beyond the figure is possible, but accuracy may decrease significantly as the positioned object moves away from the buoy figure

• August 10–11, 2023 — system trial on the Trionix ROV, Lake Ladoga, Nikonovsky Island. Video from the navigation software screen
• December 9, 2020 — the system's first static trial: buoys and pinger placed on the ice surface at lock No. 6 of the Volga-Don Shipping Canal, Volgograd
