The VADR receiver can function as an “acoustic transponder interrogator” and provide accurate range and bearing to targets marked with a line of custom acoustic transponders. It is operational to 6,000m (19,685ft) depth. The VADR receiver’s electronics and directional hydrophone are contained in the pressure housing and are externally powered by a subsea vehicle through a 5-pin bulkhead connector. All telemetry data for controlling the VADR receiver, as well as output data, is accessed through the same connector. A RS232 data interface is used to access the directional indication, range to target, operational information and control functions of the VADR receiver using an ASCII data string. For tracking an acoustic sound source, like a “Black Box” beacon, the operator selects the proper frequency through the VADR software. The VADR receiver begins to look for that acoustic signal through a directional hydrophone which is mounted on the front of the pressure housing. Once received, the signal is processed by the electronics and fed to the software. Then bearing data and signal strength is provided to the ROV operator for navigating the ROV to the target area.
