Testing Capabilities: Motion table, temp. oven Number of Employees: 70 Annual Sales (US$): $24,000,000 TSS (International) LTD. has a century of experience in marine navi- gation, gyrocompasses, and steering controls. This is combined with a range of high-tech, accurate sensors for heading and motion measure- ment, and subsea pipe and cable sur- vey and detection. As well as its com- mercially available products, the com- pany offers a bespoke engineering service to meet increasing naval demands specifically in the realm of steering controls and navigation tech- nology. Technology Profile: Its line of motion sensors are used in a wide variety of applications that require highly accurate motion detection (single and mulitibeam echosounders, ROVs and AUVs, acoustic and dynamic positioning systems). Its newest generation of Dynamic Motion Sensors incorporates solid state accelerometers and rate sensors, entirely new technology that had not been previously available. TSS has also been on the forefront in the development and design of aided Inertial Navigation Systems. Through a partnership in the '90s, TSS helped develop the POS/MV (Position and Orientation Systems for Marine Vessels), an inertial navigation system made up of three accelerome- ters, three gyrocompasses, and two GPS antennas. The product, like the motion sensors, became an industry standard providing advanced naviga- tion, motion compensation & vessel analysis to the marine industry. The Orion INS incorporates its latest ver- sion of the TSS INS algorithm with three single axis ring laser elements and three highly accurate accelerome- ters. Turner Designs, Inc. 845 W.
