Short description of project
The project proposes testing of an autonomous surface marine platform for diver tracking and underwater navigation which significantly increases safety during underwater activities. The link between the diver and the platform is established through an acoustic channel used to transmit GPS coordinates of the diver (usually unavailable underwater) to the underwater interface. Enabling diver absolute navigation in the underwater environment is the main innovative aspect of the project. During the project execution, real life experiments with divers will be performed in order to evaluate the system performance – this activity will initiate commercialization of project results.
