VADR-600M Rugged passive pinger receiver for AUVs & ROVs
VADR-600M

RJE International's rugged VADR-6000M directional receiver is ideal for installation on ROVs and AUVs, allowing operators to track acoustic sound sources with frequencies from 8kHz to 45kHz. Operational at depths of down to 6000 meters, it provides accurate target range and bearing. When paired with the ATT-400, it can be used as an acoustic transponder interrogator, capable of location marking within 1 meter.

The system is operational at depths of down to 6000 meters, and power, telemetry and output data are all handled by a 5-pin bulkhead connector.
