IXSea masters complementary technologies like inertial, underwater acoustics and magnetism, to provide a complete solution for underwater positioning.

Octans is a IMO certified survey grade gyrocompass and also a complete motion sensor that outputs Roll, Pitch, Surge, Sway, Heave, Speeds, Accelerations in addition to true heading. The heart of Octans is the solid-state Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) and has no service limitation, gimbals, mechanical fatigue and is life-long calibrated.

PHINS blends data from its unique inertial heart with information coming from any type of GPS receiver to derive the most robust positioning capability and provide heading, pitch and roll data that do not drift when GPS drops out. When available, optional extra information from speed sensors like EM or DVL can back-up and improve the navigation solution.

With POSIDONIA USBL, a single, compact acoustic array on the surface vessel and a single transponder suffice to position a mobile or fixed target. It is possible to track several targets at the same time and operations are not limited to an array of seabed transponders. Calibration of the system is quick and only required infrequently. POSIDONIA 6000 a long range, efficient and reliable positioning system in noisy, reverberating and multipath acoustic environments.

GAPS is a unique Global Acoustic Positioning System based on Ixsea mastery of INS and acoustic Chirp modulation techniques.For the first time, Acoustic, Inertialand GPS measurement are mergedin a single process in a common housing and provide an all-in one solution for precise positioning.

Over a period of more than 30 years, Ixsea acoustic releases have proven their reliability worldwide by meeting the most demanding needs of scientific campaigns and offshore works. Some units, manufactured more than 30 years ago are still in use. Strength, reliability, very low power consumption and long battery life make Ixsea Acoustic Releases a reference and a leading product. Over 4,000 Ixsea underwater acoustic releases have been sold worldwide.

Magis is a highly performing marine magnetometer based on Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation oscillator design. This configuration offers a continuous signal output combined with a patented frequency counter, leads to a high performance system and allows high sampling rate without any compromise to sensitivity.
