It is part of Sonardyne's
integrated family of underwater acoustic navigation and
telemetry equipment. The system is applicable to a wide
range of tasks in underwater engineering measurement, remote
control and monitoring.
The Medium Frequency (MF)
version operates in the frequency band 18 to 36 kHz. This
provides the best compromise between long range, accurate
positioning and operation in high level of noise. When operating
in the Low Frequency (LF) band, transponder ranges of over
10 km are obtainable. When working with Extra High Frequency
(EHF) Compatts, accuracies of 30 mm or better can be achieved.
PAN is available in all
frequency bands (LF, MF, EHF) and is field convertible by
substitution of circuit cards.
