Cerulean Sonar Omnitrack USBL ROV/USV Positioning System

Overview

Cerulean Sonar Omnitrack ROV Positioning System The Omnitrack is Cerulean’s next-gen USBL-based underwater positioning solution, built around a ring-buoy surface module that houses a powerful ROVL Mk III transceiver, plus dual GNSS receivers—for rock-solid heading and global positioning. It’s optimized for easy integration with systems like BlueROV and ArduSub, but it’ll work stand-alone too.

Key Features

• Effortless Setup & Drift-Free Tracking

• The ROVL Mk III transceiver eliminates crystal calibration and mission-start distance sync—just power up and go.

• GNSS-Based Heading & Position

• Dual GNSS receivers override the need for magnetometers, avoiding all that magnetic interference hassle. If GNSS fails (e.g. under a roof or structure), the fallback magnetometer kicks in—so you’re never totally blind.

Spec

Precision You Can Count On

• Seamless Deployment Design

• Collapsible “T-frame” design with detachable flotation ring makes launching from boats or piers fast and painless. Ethernet and power run over a single CAT5+ cable.

• Built-In Integration

• Plug directly into BlueROV via mavlink2rest. When paired with Tracker-650 DVL and ArduSub, you get fused positioning with zero drift. Prefer your software? No problem—Cerulean’s SonarView will handle it fine in standalone mode.

Options

Variant Options

1. Wired Omnitrack

Includes a 25 m Power-Over-Ethernet tether and PoE kit—ideal for reliable, low-latency operation when tether length isn’t an issue.

2. Wireless Omnitrack

Comes with a long-range Wi-Fi module and battery—no tether required, gives more deployment flexibility, but brings potential for wireless interference or setup complexity.

Why It's a Smart Buy

• Zero calibration headaches: Skip the fiddly crystal syncing.
• Immune to magnet junk: Dual GNSS means no more magnetic heading errors.
• Modular & flexible: Choose wired or wireless deployment with ease.
• Easy to integrate—or go stand-alone: Works with BlueROV/ArduSub or Cerulean’s own tools.
• Sturdy & fairly rated: 300 m depth capability paired with accurate, drift-free tracking makes it a badass piece of kit.
