Clearance
Dive Team One recently became the first of the ADF’s Clearance
Diving Teams to field an underwater GPS capability.
The Rockwell Collins underwater GPS from Rockwell receivers, allows
the Clearance Divers to navigate with high degrees of confidence
when conducting clandestine diving tasks without compromising
themselves by surfacing to visually confirm features and waypoints.
The underwater GPS receivers, just like the land-based receivers
used by Army, also provide the divers with significant resistance
to jamming, in comparison to commercial GPS receivers, and are
extremely resistant to being fed false position signals (spoofing).
AUSCDT FOUR, SASR and 4RAR (Cdo) will also be provided with underwater
GPS receivers to round out the new capability within ADF’s
Special Forces.
