PILOT™ Under the Ice ROV Tracking
Our low-cost survey system, PILOT™,
has proven to be an effective tool over the years. It's grown from
being an advanced system only understood by fellow engineers to an
off-the-shelf positioning system that provides survey grade results
without the hassle that comes with "survey-grade" equipment. In 2007 PILOT™ found its way onto the SCINI ROV, the
Submersible Capable of under Ice Navigation and Imaging, which later
found its way into the frigid arctic waters of Antarctica.
The Moss Landing Marine Lab's team was making another 'routine' trip
to Antarctica in late 2008 and they asked Desert Star to send one of
our own into the bitter cold temps and even colder waters. Needless to
say, Marco was shipped out in October for two months. PILOT™ was used on several deployments 'under the ice' when SCINI required sub-meter (or better) positioning.
Other typical uses of PILOT™
are ROV/AUV tracking, diver tracking & monitoring, harbor
inspections, seafloor surveys, pipeline inspections, body recoveries,
etc. The latest use of PILOT™ is with Florida State University's Underwater Crime Scene Investigation program...
