Teledyne RD Instruments Extends DVL Line

Teledyne RD Instruments, a manufacturer of acoustic doppler products, announced the launch of two new doppler velocity Log (DVL) product lines to round-out the company’s expanding underwater navigation capabilities.

Building on the company’s industry standard Workhorse Navigator and Explorer line of DVLs, the Pathfinder and Pioneer products represent the latest in its next generation technology. The Pathfinder DVL utilizes a piston head transducer, similar to the Navigator, and the Pioneer utilizes a phase array transducer, similar to the Explorer DVLs. However, the Pioneer and Pathfinder DVLs utilize the company’s new next generation electronics, which offer the following advantages: increased range, reduced power consumption, decreased volume, additional communication channels, and increased reliability / lower life cycle cost.
