    The Scout USBL Transceiver datasheet provides information on Sonardyne's Type 8024 transceiver. The transceiver tracks multiple subsea targets using acoustic signals and calculates their position relative to the vessel. It features an integrated motion sensor to compensate for vessel movement and can provide positioning accuracy of up to 0.5% of slant range. The transceiver is suitable for long term deployment due to its corrosion resistant aluminum bronze housing and is typically deployed from a vessel's side using a rigid pole or through-hull installation.
