Kongsberg 1107 Series High-Resolution Altimeter

3000-meter Depth Rating, The Core of Precise Perception for Underwater Vehicles

The Kongsberg 1107 series high-resolution altimeter is an underwater ranging sensor specifically designed for deep-sea applications, primarily used to accurately measure the vertical distance between underwater equipment (such as ROVs, AUVs) and the seabed or surface below.

The product features a rugged structural design, capable of withstanding deep-sea pressures down to 3000 meters, while maintaining a compact and lightweight physical profile. Its output supports the universal NMEA DBT (Depth Below Transducer) data format, making it easy to integrate into various underwater platforms and navigation systems. It is a key sensor for precise altitude holding, obstacle avoidance, and positioning in the underwater vehicle industry.

Key Features & Advantages

Main Applications

  • Underwater Vehicle Navigation and Altitude-keeping

    Provides real-time altitude data for ROVs and AUVs, assisting in altitude-keeping navigation and bottom collision avoidance.

  • Seabed Topographic Surveying

    Ensures that onboard sensors maintain a constant distance from the seabed during seabed survey missions, improving data quality.

  • Equipment Positioning and Docking

    Assists in precise positioning and safe docking of underwater equipment near seabed structures (such as drilling platforms, pipelines).

  • Underwater Structure and Pipeline Inspection

    Maintains a stable observation distance during inspection tasks, ensuring the continuity and validity of inspection data.

  • General Marine Engineering Altimetry

    Suitable for any operational scenario requiring precise knowledge of the distance between equipment and the seabed or underlying surface.
