KCF Technologies Smart Tether PRO.wmv

The Smart Tether is a revolutionary new product in the field of underwater navigation, allowing an ROV operator to know the GPS location of the ROV in real time, with minimal additional equipment. Sensor nodes placed in the tether allow the Smart Tether software to calculate the shape of the tether and plot it so the user can see the position of the entire ROV and tether system, even in zero visibility operating conditions.

The primary advantage of the Smart Tether is its simplicity and ease of use. Because all of the sensors are embedded in the tether, deploying the Smart Tether is no more difficult than deploying the ROV itself. Simply connect the tether as you would a normal ROV tether and you're ready to navigate. No additional transponders, sensors, or measurements are necessary.

The Smart Tether is also an excellent search tool, as the operator can mark tarets and view the current and past coverage areas of the ROV video camera or attached SONAR device. In addition, all this data can be geo-referenced instantaneously in Google Earth.
