The Integrated Underwater Communication System UCS-S01 transmits and receives acoustic signals through the water for analogue and/or digital information exchange via hydro-acoustic transducers. It offers additional features like “pinger mode” in a variable frequency range beside the obligatory telephony, telegraphy and data modes. The adjustable output power allows the system to work under any sea-state conditions. In addition, it can provide long to short-range communication with the shortest possible intercept range, which is essential especially for submarines. To cover all frequency ranges, it is necessary to operate the system with sets of transducers, which have low to high resonance frequencies. The low frequencies are used for long-range communication and high frequencies are used for short ranges or communication with divers. The data rate of the acoustic link is 5000 bps in typical environment and the payload data rate is 2000 bps. Payload data refers to the user’s input data. It can be adjusted to a lower payload data rate of 360 bps in very noisy or shallow horizontal environment automatically
