The NATO approved RP162 Recovery Pinger is especially designed for the emergency underwater recovery of data and cockpit voice recorders (otherwise known as the “Black Box”) of crashed aircraft. It is currently used on board numerous French Army aircraft (Mirage 4P, Mirage F1CR, all of the Mirage 2000 range and Rafale), on board aircraft for overhaul and new aircraft exported by Dassault aviation as well as MBDA Missiles (a subsidiary of EADS). The RP162 Recovery Pinger can also be used on small ROV’s, mines, and torpedoes and is a highly reliable and rugged acoustic pinger which operates up to depths of 5000m at temperatures ranging from -5°C up to +80 °C.
The RP402E Acoustic Recovery Pinger used primarily by DCN (Direction des Constructions Navales), and GESMA (Groupe d'Etudes Sous-Marines de l'Atlantique) is a shallow water acoustic recovery pinger, designed specifically for use by divers as a homing device and for diver tracking. It is also particularly suitable for acoustic marker and equipment recovery and operates from a depth of 4m at a temperature ranging from 0° up to +45° C.
