SeaTRAX-85º a precision compass for extreme latitudes

PNI SeaTRAX-85º Towed Array Heading Sensor

A precision compass developed for extreme latitudes, ensuring accurate navigation in challenging geographical areas.

Main Features

  • Heading accuracy: 0.25° RMS within the Arctic Circle; better than 1.5° at 85° latitude.
  • Sensors: Highly sensitive magnetometers and accelerometers.
  • Compensation: Advanced algorithms for magnetic distortion and tilt angles.
  • Interface: Serial digital output for heading, pitch, roll, magnetic field and accelerometer data.
  • Power consumption: consumes only one tenth of the power compared to other heading sensors.
  • Size: Less than half the size of other heading sensors, allowing for easy installation.
  • Applications: Towed systems, anti-submarine warfare, seismic streamers, military operations in the Arctic and Antarctic.

Description

SeaTRAX-85º is for vessels operating in polar regions, where standard magnetic compasses are prone to errors and fluctuations due to the Earth’s magnetic field.

 

SeaTRAX-85º is an advanced compass from PNI Sensor designed to deliver accurate heading data even in the most demanding environments, including extreme latitudes near the poles. By utilising highly sensitive magnetometers and advanced algorithms to correct for magnetic distortion and tilt angles, the SeaTRAX-85º ensures reliable and accurate measurements. With a heading accuracy of 0.25° RMS within the Arctic Circle and better than 1.5° at 85° latitude, it can deliver precise data where other sensors fail.

 

Its compact and energy-efficient design makes it ideal for long missions, and it is less than half the size of traditional heading sensors while consuming one-tenth the power. This makes the SeaTRAX-85º particularly suitable for applications such as towed systems, seismic streamers, anti-submarine warfare and military operations in the Arctic and Antarctic.

 

The SeaTRAX-85º is a reliable and robust solution to ensure accurate navigation and heading data, even in the most extreme conditions. Ideal for explorations and operations in polar environments where precision is essential.
