INTRODUCTION 

 

Artemis is a modular handheld console that can be configured as a diver target 
detection sonar and GPS underwater navigation aid.  

 
Primarily designed to assist divers in localizing and relocating objects on the seabed, 

Artemis is specifically optimized for use by Naval Mine Clearance and EOD Divers to 
relocate items of ordnance as an alternative to conducting a tactile or circular search 

around a known datum. 
 

Typical uses are search & relocation of… 

 

Unexploded ordnance by navy mine clearance divers, commercial EOD divers, etc. 

 

Seabed infrastructure within the offshore oil & gas environment (e.g. pipelines, well 
heads, structures). 

 

Missing persons, lost property, vehicles, aircraft, wrecks by police or search & 

rescue divers. 

 

Seabed/lakebed antiquities by marine biologists, archaeologists, sports divers, etc. 

 
Artemis is intuitive and straightforward to use. The interface has been designed by 

divers for divers. The user can quickly interpret information presented via the simple 
menu interface and graphical display. Sonar, Navigation and other apps are selected 

and controlled via a simple 5-button interface. 
 

Using the ‘plug-and-play’ USB connection, data can be transferred between the internal 
Flash storage on Artemis and a Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

 based PC or laptop. The “Artemis 

Manager” PC software allows pre-dive creation of “Mission” files (to assist with search 
and navigation tasks), and post-dive analysis of “Dive Log” files containing sonar 

imagery, area covered, dive-placed markers-of-interest etc. 
 

 
 

 

 

Before proceeding, we recommend that you read the safety, deployment and operation 

guidelines in this user guide, in order to get full benefit from the features of the 
Artemis system. 

 
Throughout this document the following symbols are used to indicate special 

precautions or procedures you should note… 
 

 

WARNING! 

This symbol indicates a warning you should follow of to avoid bodily injury and damage 

to your equipment. 
 

 

CAUTION 

This symbol denotes precautions and procedures you should follow to avoid damage to 

your equipment. 
 

 

NOTE 

This symbol denotes special instructions or tips that should help you get the best 

performance from your Artemis system.
