Oilfield industry in the North Sea.

As demand for larger, deeper, more powerful and more capable work- class ROV systems grew, so did the demand for the SIT camera as a pri- mary ROV navigation tool. Even today the SIT camera continues to provide a peformance level in water that is difficult to match with newer camera sensors.

However, Kongsberg Maritime is confident that its new CCD camera models will live up to the perform- ance bar set by SIT. "It was with some sadness that just recently the last pro- duction OE1324 SIT camera rolled off the Kongsberg Maritime produc- tion line, however our R&D efforts have resulted in more than worthy replacements," said Dave McKay,

Kongsberg Maritime camera division. "It's fitting that the customer should be Oceaneering International, a com- pany that has pioneered underwater

ROV operations.”

IXSEA and Thales launch STARINS range

IXSEA has joined forces with Thales to launch STARINS, a new range which combines Military GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). The new range includes STARINS 120, STARINS 200 and STARINS 200 Embedded.

STARINS 120 combines IXSEA's Photonic Inertial Navigations System (PHINS) with GRAM-S military Thales GPS and outputs position, heading, roll, pitch, depth, velocity and heave. Its high-accuracy inertial measurement unit is based on

IXSEA's FOG technology coupled with an embedded digital signal processor that runs and advanced Kalman filter. Applications include surface navigation for frigates, MCMV and fast patrol boats as well as SDV.

STARINS 200 and STARINS 200 Embedded are the ultimate navigation solu- tions for all navy platforms based on state of the art Thales GPS and IXSEA's iner- tial technologies. Performance and reliability drive these naval navigation systems. STARINS 200 and STARINS 200

Embedded can be used onboard corvettes, submarines, frigates, aircraft carriers and navy test vessels.
