Sonardyne Ranger 2 USBL: Underwater Positioning

Precise Tracking, Dynamic Positioning, and Subsea Telemetry in One System

Product Overview The Sonardyne Ranger 2 is a high-performance Acoustic Positioning system designed for a wide range of subsea operations. Utilizing Ultra-Short Baseline (USBL) technology, it allows operators to track underwater targets—such as ROVs, AUVs, and divers—and provide precise position reference for Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessels.

Built on Sonardyne’s 6G® (Sixth Generation) hardware platform and Wideband® 2 digital signal technology, the Ranger 2 excels in challenging acoustic environments. Whether you are working in shallow water for a wind farm survey or at full-ocean depth for scientific research, the Ranger 2 delivers unmatched precision, update rates, and reliability.

Why Choose the Sonardyne Ranger 2?

• Exceptional Accuracy: Achieve positioning precision of better than 0.1% of slant range when paired with optimized sensors.
• Multi-Target Tracking: Simultaneously track up to 10 underwater targets (transponders) at ranges exceeding 6,000 meters.
• 6G Digital Performance: Highly robust against acoustic noise and multi-path interference, ensuring stable tracking even under a thrusting DP vessel.
• Integrated Telemetry: Not just a tracking tool—the Ranger 2 serves as a high-speed data link to command and retrieve status updates from subsea assets.
