underwateracousticdirectional

The SEEKER acoustic directional receiver is a small but rugged passive pinger receiver used to assist operators of ROVs and AUVs in tracking acoustic sound sources from 25Khz to 40Khz. In addition, the SEEKER receivers can function as an acoustic tran-sponder interrogator and provide accurate range and bearing to targets marked with a line of custom acoustic transponders. There are two different models of SEEKER receiv-ers. The VADR1000M operates to depths of 1000 meters and the VADR6000M can with-stand depths of 6000 meters.
