Starfix-HP, Fugro's 'state-of-the-art' GPS augmentation system, brings decimeter level position accuracy to offshore operations, at ranges for beyond alternative high accuracy positioning systems such as Real-Time Kinematic GPS (RTK). Starfix-HP is the latest addition to the Starfix family of Differential GPS (DGPS) services operated by Fugro worldwide.

The STARFIX Navigation Suite details the premier navigation and positioning system available from Chance. The system is comprised of three components: Nav - real-time navigation, display and data entry using GIS database engine, Seis - integrated navigation package interchangeable with Nav, specifically designed for hydrographic and seismic applications, OBS - Ocean Bottom Seismic module and processing system to work in conjunction with STARFIX.Nav.

STARFIX.NAV incorporates true GIS functionality, real-time positioning, and graphic display in a inclusive survey, monitoring, and calculations package. TERRAMODEL® is used as the graphics engine, with a multi-layered system for managing map objects. This allows for simultaneous tracking of an unlimited number of vessels while integrating valuable information from our proprietary database.

STARFIX.3000LR is a proprietary software package developed by our parent company, Fugro. SeaSTAR has been designed for the typical marine navigator. Utilizing the RTCM correction data generated by the VBS (Virtual Base Station) position solution is optimized for the vessel's actual position.

Whether for seismic, drilling, constructions support, geophysical survey or ROV positioning Fugro's Inertial Solutions provide the answers.

Starfix.HydroVista® offers an innovative solution for representation of the total subsea environment replicated in real time for observation and management of operations in the field, office and remote locations via the Web.

HydroVista® is a innovative graphics application that provides survey guidance.

DRONE is one the newest additions to the Chance line of software. This dynamic remotely operated navigation equipment provides clear navigation guidance for remote vessels in critical offshore operations. DRONE works in conjunction with STARFIX.Nav (Chance's graphic survey and navigation system).

Fugro has developed tightly coupled INS (Inertial Navigation System) solutions to address subsea positioning.

Fugro provides the REMUS autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for shallow water operations with high-resolution sidescan sonar, bathymetry, and environmental monitoring capabilities."

STARFIX is the INTERNATIONAL solution for your DGPS needs. The STARFIX range of DGPS products and services provides the professional marine user with dynamic real-time capability for precise positioning of unmatched performance worldwide. The STARFIX satellite broadcasts provide each user with continuous, consistent and high integrity DGPS correction data, regardless of environmental conditions.

STARFIX.MRDGPS (Multi Reference Differential GPS). Quality parameters recommended by UKOOA, and all available DGPS data (from up to 12 individual reference stations) available on site are used to provide position information real time to the client.

STARFIX.OBS (Ocean Bottom Seismic) is the latest addition to the CHANCE line of navigation software. In a joint venture with EnSoCo, Inc., STARFIX.OBS was developed out of a combination of technologies found in Chance's STARFIX.NAV and EnSoCo's Source Receiver Location System (S.R.L.S.).

Microdome™ is the world's smallest integrated Inmarsat (L-band) satellite antenna and demodulator for Inmarsat delivered DGPS corrections. Measuring a mere 55cm x 35cm, Microdome weighs only 8kg and can be easily carried by hand, making it the ideal choice for a variety of positioning applications.

GEOTRACK is a DGPS-based, multipurpose tracking system that offers a comprehensive solution to all surface positioning requirements. The system is composed of 1 to Vessel Control Units (VCU) each capable of handling up to 8 Tracking Units (TBU) on a single frequency. GEOTRACK has the ability to reliably provide on-line checking and rejection of poor measurements.
