A diver-carried acoustic navigation system has been developed to follow predetermined survey lines during search operations. The system includes a backpack containing a computer and an acoustic transceiver as well as an arm-mounted, backlit LCD display and switch. The system is capable of both active and passive acoustic navigation using standard transponders and beacons, respectively. Capability is also included for coded two-way communications between the diver and a support vessel.
