13 Metrology flexibility offered Setup: We don t state the approach Flexible, reconfigurable solutions to suit application Based on 6G acoustics and inertial Customer Benefit: Improved ease of use and performance of 6G acoustics Efficiency improvements with inertial integration Flexibility: QC through the use of both inertial and acoustic measurements ROV or LGC6 techniques Aided or unaided INS Real time and post processed

14 3) Equipment applicable to Pipelay : SPRINT Hardware stock Hardware used

15

16 SPRINT: Installation of LBL aided configuration Malaysia July 2011 Digiquartz Lodestar and mounting plate Full or sparse arrays RN6 tcvr and remote transducer

17 SPRINT: DVL misalignment calculation Malaysia July 2011 Setup: No need for co-location of DVL and Lodestar Calibration free if approximate mounting angles known (<~1 ) Simple calibration for maximum precision: Arbitrary mounting 5-20 minutes of manoeuvring at the seabed. Accelerations along various axes including up/down. Heading changes +/- 90 deg, movement maintained Random high dynamic manoeuvres

18 Touchdown monitoring, single beacon LBL + DVL (~ 1000m) Malaysia July 2011

19 Video * after initialisation and relative to RTK GPS

20 Touchdown monitoring, single beacon LBL + DVL (~ 1000m) Malaysia July 2011 Benefit: High integrity position solution through tight integration of acoustics and INS Robustness of Wideband acoustic signal processing Supports multiuser and sparse arrays Accuracy and precision of LBL using one or two transponders

21 SPRINT: Installation of USBL aided configuration Malaysia August-September 2010

22 Northings (m) SPRINT Extended layback tracking Malaysia August-September USBL: 2.11m 1DRMS INS: 0.28m 1DRMS Incorrect USBL Positions Loss of USBL Positioning USBL INS DVL & Depth < 0.1% distance travelled Eastings (m)
