Its compact OEM design allows for seamless integration with MBARI&rsquo;s existing AUVs, while its compatibility with additional navigation tools enhances overall accuracy, meeting MBARI&rsquo;s operational needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;MBARI&rsquo;s advanced underwater vehicles gather important data about our changing ocean. Our seafloor mapping operations required a navigation system that could provide state-of-the-art precision and reliability in extreme conditions,&rdquo; said Erik Trauschke, Autonomous Systems Operations Manager at MBARI. &ldquo;Its ability to integrate with a Teledyne RDI Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) offers us added flexibility, allowing for a customized INS-DVL configuration.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are delighted that MBARI has chosen our Phins Compact C7 INS for their deepwater AUV fleet,&rdquo; said Shayan Haque, Business Development Manager at Exail. &ldquo;It has been a true collaborative effort with everyone involved at MBARI. We are excited to see our systems contributing to their ongoing exploration and research efforts.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of Exail&#039;s systems came after a significant period of collaboration between MBARI and the Exail support team, who worked closely to develop a customized solution tailored to MBARI&#039;s AUVs and the specific requirements of their deep-sea missions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The technical exchange with Erik Trauschke and his team was extremely thorough, and we were aligned from day one. We provided a loaner unit for MBARI to assess the system&#039;s performance and assisted in designing their customized mounting bracket. This close collaboration highlights our commitment and ability to support our clients in developing bespoke solutions for their specific needs,&quot; said Patrick Lieffering, Support Operations Manager for the Americas at Exail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>maritime-executive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[By:&nbsp;Exail] The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), a leading institution in oceanographic research, has selected the Exail Phins Compact C7 Inertial Navigation System (INS) to upgrade its deepwater Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) fleet.&nbsp;&nbsp; Built on advanced Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology, the Phins Compact C7 INS was chosen for its ability to deliver survey-grade navigation &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[19727,7619,11593,17889,22595,22596,1973,17892,3875,1655,22597,22594,22598,1685,63,22593,6530],"class_list":["post-49210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-maritime-news","tag-autonomous-underwater-vehicle","tag-auv","tag-compact","tag-exail","tag-exail-phins-compact-c7-inertial-navigation-system","tag-fiber-optic-gyroscope-technology","tag-fleet","tag-inertial","tag-mbari","tag-navigation","tag-navigation-systems","tag-oceanographic-research","tag-phins","tag-research","tag-technology","tag-the-monterey-bay-aquarium-research-institute","tag-upgrades"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/49211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al-sindbad.net\/rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
