iXBlue Ramses

Ramses is an acoustic synthetic baseline positioning system (ASBL) designed to make LBL and sparse-LBL subsea navigation simple.

Tightly coupled with iXblue inertial navigation system (Phins, Rovins or Rovins Nano), it delivers extreme precision and robustness using a greatly reduced number of transponders compared to usual LBL systems.

Available in medium frequency version compatible with Gaps, Ramses is a key part of iXblue inertial-acoustic solutions for subsea positioning.

• Modes of operation: Sparse LBL positioning, with SLAM capability, and LBL
• Compatibility: iXblue INS, Canopus supervision software
• Embedded Kalman filter and LBL algorithms
• Full embedded processing, no top-side required
• Millimetre range measurement precision
• Embedded SV, Pressure and Temperature sensors
• UPS function to secure INS power supply
• Subsea switch & logger functionalities
• Acoustic communication (500 bits/s)
• Simplified mobilization, for ROVs and AUVs
• LBL navigation accuracy, with superior precision
• Reduced number of required transponders
• Flexible array deployment thanks to SLAM
• Fully operable in existing fields, reducing seabed transponders maintenance and vessel time
