Gaps M5 can track up to 40 targets and 10 with a common interrogation code.
Up to 10 beacons in responder mode.
Yes, it does. Gaps M5 offers robust binary data transfer capability with simultaneous posi-
tioning. So, it can be use for INS realignment and coupling but also for any type of use in
the range of AUV control or status recovering for example.
The maximum data rate obtained is 20 bytes sent and 20 bytes received in a 6 seconds
window. Position cycle is default 1 seconds and increased by 5 seconds to allow the beacon
to process the data and receive the reply.
Yes, Gaps M5 acoustic communication is telemetry, which is a low rate and robust commu-
nication mode design to be interlaced with the positioning.
The origins of error/warning message triggers are not configurable, then if no GPS signal is
inputed into Gaps M5, an error message will occur. This can be avoided during workshop
testing using a GPS simulator.
Gaps M5 will be never better than Gaps M7. Gaps M7 is the ultimate precalibrated system
whereas Gaps M5 is a cost-effective version.
