Ranger 2’s Marine Robotics Pack allows users to acoustically time synchronise systems onboard AUVs with a GNSS system on the surface.
Even the best clocks drift, and with the duration of AUV missions ever increasing, the need for a way to synchronise an AUV’s clocks to UTC during a mission led Sonardyne to create the Remote Time Sync Feature in Ranger 2. It’s now possible to remotely time synchronise a subsea clock to within 10 microseconds.
Tom demonstrates the Remote Time Sync features in this video.
