Fiber-optic gyroscope technology At the heart of an ixblue INS lies a fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG), an extremely high performance rotation sensing device based on the Sagnac effect, which is a relativistic effect discovered at the beginning of the 20 th century. A FOG uses optical waves propagating in a fiberoptic coil to measure a rotational rate accurately. This apparently simple design takes full advantage of the reciprocity principle in the propagation of light, which enables a perfect device to be created from imperfect components. ixblue FOGs are the result of more than 30 years of research and development, and they address the most demanding navigation applications and performance requirements from 0.1 /h to 0.001 /h. Thanks to in-house mastery of all FOG s key components (optical fiber, coil winding, modulator and source) in combination with advanced modeling of potential environmental sensitivities, ixblue FOGs are insensitive to temperature changes and magnetic perturbations, as well as resistant to extreme shocks and vibrations. As of the end of 2014, ixblue has delivered more than 10,000 high-performance FOGs. As a FOG is a completely passive device with no mechanical dithering, sealed cavity or high-voltage discharge, it has an unrivaled longevity and reliability as well as very low power consumption.

UNDERWATER acoustic technology ixblue has developed its own technology, from transducers to power amplifiers, thanks to its expertise in engineering and signal processing. ixblue delivers the full spectrum of underwater acoustic solutions, from the very low to the very high frequency range, in order to meet all the challenges of underwater operations: medium and long-range acoustic positioning systems (GAPS) high-resolution acoustic imagery and mapping (FLS product line) synthetic LBL positioning systems (RAMSES) acoustic transponders (OCEANO) ixblue products offer: subsea positioning acoustic tracking metrology and DP solutions sparse array operations pipeline survey Low frequency acoustic sources

«The process of checking the location that a pipe or cable first touches on the seabed during construction operations.» TOuChdOwn MOniTOring The Ubiquitous OCTANS OCTANS 3000 Gyroscope and motion sensor has been used for touch down monitoring since its introduction to the market in the late 90 s. OCTANS NANO now offers the same reliability for half the volume and at affordable cost. With the introduction of INS and USBL solutions ixblue now delivers even higher levels of performance. Smooth Accurate Navigation By fitting the ROV with a ROVINS or PHINS, all the benefits of inertial navigation become available: a more accurate and smoother ROV position translates to a more accurate assessment of the final pipeline position. From Shallow to Deep GAPS USBL includes an Inertial Navigation System in its acoustic head which allows it to be pre-calibrated and extremely accurate. 200Hz position update 3X smoother than acoustic positioning post-processed quality in real time The 3-D hydrophone head combined with robust signal processing result in the widest antenna aperture allowing the tracking of targets horizontally even in the shallowest water. The latest generation of GAPS is bringing compatibility with third party beacons (WB1) to facilitate subsea work. It is no longer required to deploy additional transponders in an already existing field of operation. The system can be deployed on any kind or size of vessel, including barges and pipelay vessel, and a separate survey vessel can often be eliminated from the operation. The high power low frequency nature of POSIDONIA means reliable positioning is available even at long laybacks through the extremely difficult acoustic environment of a pipe lay vessel.

«The process of surveying a subsea pipeline to check its location and condition.» PiPeline Survey As-Laid and Out of Straightness Pipeline survey operations may be conducted for a number of reasons. ixblue sensors and solutions are key success factors. As-laid surveys are used to confirm the final location of the pipe, checking that: the pipe has been laid to the correct tolerance the pipe has not been damaged during lay there is a need for remedial work a baseline for later inspection surveys is provided Positioning is vital to ensure the pipe has been laid in the correct position, and for future baseline surveys. Good ROV heading and attitude data is necessary for these operations. OCTANS 3000 is the industry standard gyro, and is perfect for these surveys. Save time with INS If real time data is required, ROVINS features the same form factor as the ubiquitous OCTANS 3000 and allows the ROV to be easily upgraded to full inertial capability. The high update rate and smooth position obtained in real time mean there is generally no need to post process the positioning data prior to final chart production. Extreme Accuracy The move to deeper water and higher temperature products combined with tighter pipeline design tolerances has led to a greater need for out-of-straightness surveys. Where the ultimate in accuracy is required, ixblue produces the PHINS 6000 INS, the ideal tool for 3D out of straightness surveys. The data acquired with a ROVINS or PHINS 6000 in real time is suitable for as-laid chart production. DELPH INS is the ixblue software tool for INS data re-processing. It offers: a complete set of dedicated tools available for navigation improvement and QA/QC analysis quick and easy integration in processing workflow an intuitive and user-friendly Man Machine Interface (MMI) cost effective and scalable solutions for all applications.

«Cut to length operations are vital to the correct positioning of pipeline lay down points.» Cut to Length If no ROV is available, an USBL beacon may be installed on the pipe, as well, the seabed position of the transponder may be used to calculate the remaining pipe length. High performance in shallow water ixblue offers a number of systems for cut-to-length operations in shallow water, GAPS is the ideal tool for these operations thanks to its pre-calibrated characteristics and simplicity of deployment, together with its excellent horizontal tracking performance. It does not exclude a robust performance in deep water (> 4000m depth). Extreme range in deep water In deeper water, the POSIDONIA is capable of performing cut-to-length operations directly from the pipelay vessel, with no need for a separate survey vessel. Ultimate accuracy For ultimate accuracy, ixblue offers the RAMSES synthetic acoustic positioning system. With a beacon placed on the lay down point and another one attached to the pipe, as soon as the beacon on the pipe reaches the seabed, the ROV is able to perform a metrology operation between the two beacons measuring the remaining length down to a few centimeters. Compatibility The latest generations of RAMSES and GAPS are bringing compatibility with third party beacons (WB1) to facilitate subsea work. It is no longer required to deploy additional transponders in an already existing field of operation.

«Pipeline Crossings: Laying a pipe over the top of an existing object, usually over some kind of pre-installed protection.» Pipeline CrossinGS A new approach with RAMSES, for higher productivity When it comes to pipeline crossings, accuracy is vital. In order to minimize risk it is necessary to navigate relative to the pre-laid mattress. RAMSES is the latest building block in the ixblue range of subsea positioning systems, along with features such as sparse array and automatic calibration of beacons (SLAM*), RAMSES introduces relative navigation at LBL accuracies. *Simultaneous Localization and Mapping No lengthy calibration of the subsea beacons is required. The RAMSES in combination with INS SLAM, automatically calibrates the positions of the beacons as the ROV deploys them and moves back to its monitoring position. Within a very short time, the INS switches to navigating with the RAMSES aiding feature, resulting in position accuracy relative to the crossing better than 10 cm. Compatibility The latest generation of RAMSES is bringing compatibility with third party beacons (WB1) to facilitate subsea work. It is no longer required to deploy additional transponders in an already existing field of operation.

«The process of positioning a mobile rig on a pre-selected location.» rig MOve equipment cannot be used on a rig due to the required calibration which is impractical. Conventional Rig Move For a conventional rig move, reliable lightweight equipment is desirable. QUADRANS is ixblue s latest fiber-optic gyrocompass aimed at IMO grade navigation requirements. Acoustic Rig Moves Often rigs need to be positioned relative to existing seabed structures, the precise position of which are not known. Current techniques rely on installing LBL positioning equipment on the legs of a jackup rig. This dangerous procedure results in very accurate positioning but is slow and often leads to the loss of the equipment installed on the legs. Conventional USBL With its internal INS, GAPS is pre-calibrated and therefore can be installed without the need for a separate UBSL calibration. The GAPS can be installed on a temporary over-the-side pole, or even installed on the drill string. A single transponder is installed on the subsea structure. The GAPS is configured to output the relative position of the transponder. Compatibility The latest generation of GAPS is bringing compatibility with third party beacons (WB1) to facilitate subsea work. It is no longer required to deploy additional transponders in an already existing field of operation.

«Placing structures on the seabed.» STruCTure PLacement All kinds of marine construction require the placement of objects on the seabed at defined locations. ixblue solutions can be combined in many ways to achieve the required positioning accuracy. For instance, a simple mattress placement may be achieved through the use of a GAPS USBL beacon on each end of the deployment frame. For ultimate accuracy, an INS on the structure combined with RAMSES will give attitude, orientation and position throughout the deployment. Releasing the structure from its deployment rigging can be achieved without ROV intervention through the use of the ixblue range of heavy duty acoustic releases. ixblue Solutions GAPS: the pre-calibration and the excellent performance in shallow water combined with horizontal tracking capability, makes GAPS the ideal solution for deployment from barges, even in extremely shallow water. The latest generation of GAPS is now compatible with ixblue releasable transponders for limited load handling (up to 5t) and with third party transponders if they are already installed. ROVINS and PHINS: when it comes to high accuracy, INS will improve acoustic positioning and provide full attitude of the structure during the deployment process. POSIDONIA: the solution for deep/ultra deep water positioning. RAMSES: LBL grade accuracy without the usual disadvantage. OCEANO: heavy duty acoustic releases to handle the release of the heaviest loads with no external ROV or diver intervention. OCTANS NANO: heading and attitude data ideal for structure monitoring.

«Measuring the angles and distances between two subsea connectors so that a connecting part can be manufactured and fitted.» Rx2 Ry2 β Rx1 Ry1 α MeTrOlOgy Metrology operations are traditionally time consuming and expensive to get right, involving the deployment of many seabed acoustic beacons and a lengthy calibration and data gathering procedure. Traditional Method when you want to perform a traditional metrology operation, ixblue is able to provide OCTANS for measuring connector attitudes and headings. acoustic measurements combined with the best commercially available inertial measurements. metrologies no longer need to be line of sight in order to be completed quickly. the SLAM approach can even conduct multiple metrologies simultaneously, tying a number of structures together in a single ROV dive. redundant processing using multiple techniques leads to the most robust solution. COMMET, Acoustic Aided Inertial Method ixblue s approach of Acoustic Aided Inertial Metrology uses a Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) technique. Equipment inventory and time to complete are drastically reduced with no compromise on accuracy. a ROV equipped with PHINS and RAMSES is used in a two-stage process to measure: 1. the distance between two beacons installed in the connectors 2. the heading and attitude of the connectors. using the SLAM technique means thousands of

«At the start of a pipe or cable lay, making the link between the lay vessel and the shore.» beach PullS Beach pulls are particularly challenging environments for acoustic positioning systems. The shallow water makes for horizontal tracking and a high degree of multi-path effects. Challenging acoustic environment The unique acoustic performance of the GAPS USBL, with its 200 deg aperture and exceptional shallow water performance, makes it the only choice for tracking the pipe or cable right to the surf zone. The signal processing within GAPS has been specifically designed to minimize multi-path effects. The attitude and heading sensor within the GAPS system is an inertial navigation system (INS) that is integral to the acoustic head. GAPS is de facto the standard for shallow water operations. Best in class performance As well as the best in class performance for shallow water operations, the pre-calibrated nature of the system is vital in these operations. GAPS can be installed on a pipelay barge or cable lay vessel with no further calibration required.... up to 200!

«The process of burying a subsea pipe or cable.» TrenChing Two distinct (or combined) problems have to be solved when it comes to plough tracking: in shallow water the tracking system must be capable of operating with a horizontal target (high elevation). in the case of a large plough, the power required to tow the vehicle is immense and produces a high level of noise as well as a great deal of disturbed water. In some cases, acoustic signals between the plough and towing vessel are blocked completely, meaning an additional vessel is required to track the plough. Remote USBL Deployment ixblue has two approaches to solve the problem of tracking a trenching tool: either deploying GAPS below the acoustic disturbance or behind the acoustic disturbance. Because GAPS includes an Inertial Navigation System it does not need to be rigidly attached to a ship. By deploying the GAPS below the towing vessel in quiet 100m water depth undisturbed water, reliable tracking of the plough is achieved. A second approach is to mount the GAPS on a tail buoy and deploy it aft of the towing vessel. This places the GAPS well away from any acoustic noise or disturbed water. For the ultimate in positioning, the plough may be equipped with an INS like the ROVINS. OCTANS NANO is an economical choice providing basic heading and attitude data impervious to magnetic fields whilst being robust enough for the demanding environment. 300m layback

«Automatic software control of ROV position, heading and attitude.» rov dp operations Software and sensors detect the ROV position and attitude to control the thrusters, automatically placing the ROV at the desired location. The best in positioning technology For ultimate performance ROV DP needs position and attitude data of high quality at a high data rate. ROVINS is ideal, providing this data at up to 200 times per second. By having the most accurate data at high speed, the DP system can keep the ROV very stable, allowing the pilot to concentrate on the job at hand. The best ROV DP demands the best in positioning technology, ixblue recommends ROVINS interfaced with DVL and a pressure sensor for ROV DP applications. Features: position attitude and heading stabilization auto speed and heading mid-water station keeping riser inspection point and click maneuvering pre-planned mission tracks

«A computer-controlled system to automatically maintain a vessel s position and heading by using its own propellers and thrusters.» Vessel DP Vessels operating in deep water need an alternative to GPS for positioning. In shallow water Taught wire, Fanbeam, or Radar systems are often used, but in deep water and away from fixed structures. These systems are not viable. Standard acoustic positioning systems become too noisy for DP operations beyond around 1500m. DP PHINS has been specifically designed as an add-on to an existing acoustic DP system. By smoothing the data from the existing USBL system, applying L/USBL principals. DP operations can be conducted in much deeper water than was previously possible, all without major changes to the DP or acoustic systems on the vessel. POSIDONIA is ixblue deep water acoustic system. When coupled with a ROVINS or a PHINS, the inertially aided L/USBL mode becomes available, bringing the possibility of using acoustics for DP positioning, even in the world s deepest oceans. For shallow water operations Taut wire can be a problem as the range of movement is a function of the water depth: the shallower the water, the less movement is possible. The excellent horizontal performance of GAPS combined with the new L/USBL/INS mode allows world class positioning using only one or two beacons in very shallow water. New releasable ixblue beacons can be used (activated from GAPS itself) or third party already existing beacons. For shallow water pipe or cable lay operations, PHINS DVL is a viable DP reference system. With a station keeping performance of around 0.5m/hour or 0.1% distance traveled, even the longest GPS outages can be dealt with. By adding RAMSES with seabed beacons widely spaced along a route (greater than 1km spacing) better than 40cm positioning accuracy is achievable along the whole route.

«Combining inertial and acoustic positioning technologies: the best way for subsea positioning with less beacons and no compromised performance.» Sparse Array Navigation The tight coupling of acoustic systems with inertial navigation systems offers new modes of operation for underwater positioning. Sparse array navigation is one of them. By fusing acoustic ranges to transponders with the intimate knowledge of the vehicle motion provided by the INS, it is possible to reach or exceed conventional LBL performance. Navigation is now possible with only one or two beacons, where previously many were mandatory, including new releasable ixblue beacons or third party already existing ones. PHINS and RAMSES are stand alone devices, but when connected together with a single cable, they make a complete sparse aray navigation system without requiring additional topside equipment. LBL array installation and calibration procedure: Typical subsea field developments can require more than 100 seabed deployed transponders. The time taken to deploy and calibrate such a large array represents a significant cost. With the sparse array techniques made possible by RAMSES, far fewer transponders are required. Rather than requiring at least 4 transponders in range to calculate a position, navigation is possible with only one single beacon in range. ROV robust positioning: RAMSES + PHINS/DVL on the ROV only requires one or two acoustic transponders in range in order to maintain accuracy. A robust position solution is still available even with ROV operating in shadow zones or within acoustically challenging conditions. Acoustic array propagation: With the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithm running in RAMSES it is possible to dynamically extend the acoustic array by adding additional transponders. On the fly, RAMSES will use the additional data to calibrate the position of the new transponders before using them in the sparse array solution.
