Overview

Saves you time. Saves you weight. Saves you payload.

The SPRINT-Nav family is the only all-in-one, subsea navigation solution you’ll ever need for your marine robotic and autonomous vehicle operations. With over a decade’s experience of aiding your missions, SPRINT-Nav delivers class-leading underwater navigational performance. Its accuracy is unparalleled and can be as little as 0.01% variance of its path on a typical survey (depending on the model).

SPRINT-Nav combines our SPRINT inertial sensor, Syrinx DVL and high accuracy intelligent pressure sensor in a single, compact housing, replacing the need for a separate DVL, pressure sensor and INS/AHRS. We call this hybrid navigation.

Navigate your marine environment with the confidence only SPRINT-Nav can provide.

Pinpoint location precision. Enhance your operations by adding valuable location detail enabling you to identify exactly where your data is drawn from or to pinpoint the location of assets, obstacles and pipelines.

Guide, control and navigate your USVs, ROVs and AUVs faster, safely and more efficiently with SPRINT-Nav. Operate your vehicles and vessels with the confidence of knowing exactly where they are and what they’re doing.

No calibration needed. Straight out of the box SPRINT-Nav is ready to go, saving you precious time on your operations.

Reduced in size – but not in performance, SPRINT-Nav Mini is the industry’s smallest all-in-one hybrid acoustic-inertial subsea navigator. It provides the perfect instrument for you to control your smaller inspection class ROVs and small to medium sized USVs.

Engineered for all autonomous vehicles no matter what size or purpose, there is a SPRINT-Nav for your operations.

Why should you invest?

By choosing SPRINT-Nav you are choosing an all-in-one acoustic-inertial navigation sensor, replacing the need for a separate DVL, pressure sensor and INS/AHRS. Saving you the time, cost, cabling and integration challenges associated with using different sensors from different vendors.

SPRINT-Nav. Your all-in-one guidance and navigation system.

SPRINT-Nav is an all-in-one hybrid acoustic – inertial navigation instrument for autonomous underwater and surface vehicles. It combines our SPRINT INS, Syrinx DVL and high accuracy intelligent pressure sensor in a single compact titanium housing.

Available in four different performance levels; 300, 500, 700 and X, and two different depth ratings; 4,000 and 6,000 m, it offers two DVL frequencies; 600 kHz and a high-altitude 400 kHz option.

SPRINT-Nav Mini packs a powerful punch for your underwater robotic applications.

Measuring just 213 mm in height (only fractionally taller than some competing DVL-only instruments), 148 mm in diameter and weighing in at approximately 3.6 kg in air for the 300 m rated unit – or 7.1 kg for the 4,000 m depth version –SPRINT-Nav Mini is the world’s smallest hybrid acoustic – inertial navigation technology.

SPRINT-Nav Mini is powered by the same navigation algorithm you’ll find inside SPRINT-Nav. It combines the strengths of all its sensors to provide robust, precise and accurate outputs. Two depth ratings are available; a 300 m and a 4,000 m. There is also a side-connector option depth rated for 300 m and measuring only 183 mm in height makes it ideal for tight spaces on small platforms.

Compact

Low power and small, it’s the ideal size for installing on all size ROVs as well as USVs undertaking data harvesting missions in shallow water and around offshore structures which often block GNSS signals.

Cost-effective

Because it’s cheaper than the four separate sensors it replaces (AHRS, DVL, INS and pressure sensor), it’s a cost-effective solution for your research platforms where budgets need to stretch as far as possible.

Specialist applications

SPRINT-Nav X is the highest-grade model in our SPRINT-Nav family designed for very specialist applications such as long endurance missions using XLUUVs.

Survey

Supports dual ROV and Survey use and standalone ROV guidance. Also provides mid-water station keeping with vendor independent USBL aiding.
