Integrated Positioning System (Software)

The Integrated Positioning System


(IPS) is a PC based software package
specifically designed for tracking and
navigation of a surface vessel and
multiple submerged targets (e.g. AUV,
ROV, submersible, tow fish, diver etc.)
The IPS software supports the inte-
gration of an ORE acoustic tracking
system (TrackPoint 3, 3P, TrackPoint
II Plus, or LXT), a ship’s GPS, head-
ing sensor (magnetic, gyrocompass,
GPS- Gyro) and if available a motion
sensor (VRU, AHRS).
The position of the submerged targets
relative to the support vessel is deter-
mined by an ORE TrackPoint or LXT
Trackpoint 3
system and sent to a PC via an RS-
232 or Ethernet link. The actual posi-
tion (latitude / longitude / depth) of the
submerged target is then calculated
based upon the range and true bear-
ing relative to the ship’s position as
supplied by a GPS receiver. The re-
sults are then graphically displayed on
the PC. The data may be stored and
retrieved for later processing.
