Abstract (EN): This paper presents a new generation of man portable acoustic navigation buoys. The aim of these buoys is to facilitate the deployment of an underwater acoustic positioning system for the operation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles. Each buoy includes only the vital modules required for the most typical schemes of underwater acoustic navigation, packed in a small but dynamically stable platform for one day long operations in coastal waters. We will present an overview of the systems hardware and electronics, and also the key features of the deployment and operation of the beacons.
