The system is based on the company’s advanced underwater technology that allows networked communication between various users.
The WhitePointer system complies with NATO Standards and enables reliable voice and data communication between surface ships, submarines, and other underwater users including divers and drones such as Swimmer’s Delivery Vehicles (SDVs), Diver Propulsion Vehicles (DPVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs).
The system supports underwater acoustic networked communication with multiple users and can be fully integrated with any onboard communication system.
The solution– which implements multiple types of modulations for data transmission – includes a synthesized, high-power transceiver with preset frequencies. This allows the operator to rapidly switch channels without risking errors.
Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (SDVs) are midget submersibles designed to transport frogmen from a combat swimmer unit or naval Special Forces underwater, over long distances.
SDVs carry a pilot, co-pilot, and combat swimmer team and their equipment, to and from maritime mission objectives on land or at sea. The Pilot and co-pilot are often a part of the swimmer team.
