Dynamic Positioning Transponder (DPT)
Description
The Types 8124, 8126 and 8129
DPT’s are full sized transponders
designed specifically for seabed
deployment or large target tracking.
Available in 3,000 metre rated omni-
directional or directional transducers,
DPTs are equipped with a rugged
spring assisted release mechanism,
depth sensors and advanced power
and gain controls if required.
For deep-water towfish tracking, the
Type 8129 DPT is a midi-sized unit
with a high power super directional
transducer that is depth rated to
7,000 metres.
DPTs support Sonardyne
Wideband™ signals, tone
frequencies and all HPR
300/HiPAP® channels. DPT also
supports Sonardyne command and
control options.
