INC
Integrated Navigational Console: A one unit solution for operators
of LBV‟s equipped with SONAR and or navigation systems. The
monitor displays both the LBV video and the SONAR/tracking
information on a single monitor. It is also equipped with a hard drive
and video recording equipment so the information can be recorded
into a single file on the hard drive.
LBV
Little Benthic Vehicle
lwLARS
Light Weight Launch and Recovery System. A self contained
tether management system with operator controlled automated
deployment and recovery of the tether and the LBV.
MB
Motherboard
MUX
Multiplexer. This function is contained in the POH and converts the
fiber data to electrical data prior to the slip ring assembly for use by
the operator.
NCC
Navigation Computer Console. A computer and display console
developed for display and control of SONAR and tracking systems.
OCU
Operator Control Unit.
OOK
On-Off Keying. The simplest method of command and control of
the LBV with no additional data channels. Utilizing RS232 duplex
from the OCU to the LBV via the Surface Power Supply.
PCA
Printed Circuit Card Assembly
PIC
Programmable IC. Used extensively on the circuit boards to pre-
program them for functions as required.
POH
Pull Out (multiplexer) Hub. Part of the URS. It contains the MUX
as well as the termination point for the tether and the tether whip.
PSI
Power Supply Interface circuit board; part of the VPS
QRS
Quick Recovery System. A secondary manual system used to
ease the recovery of the LBV by attaching to the tether and allowing
the operator to recover the LBV without handling the tether directly.
RF
Radio Frequency
RF Coupler
Radio Frequency Coupler Board. Used in non FO LBV‟s to couple
and decouple data and video to the tether.
RF Demod
Radio Frequency De-Modulator. Used in non FO & FOV LBV‟s to
convert the RF video signal to composite video for display.
RF Mod
Radio Frequency Modulator. Used to up and down convert the
RS232 data from the OCU and the LBV to RF for data transmission
via the tether.
ROV
Remotely Operated Vehicle
RS232
Computer interface communications mode
SB
Sensor Board. Used to convert the analog data signals from the
internal and external LBV sensors to digital format for display and
utilization by the “Auto” modes of the LBV.
SBT
Standard Brushed Thruster
SPS
Surface Power Supply. Converts supply AC power to DC at ~360
VDC for transfer to the LBV via the tether.
