Workhorse Navigator Doppler Velocity Log
The industry standard for Doppler navigation

Workhorse Navigator Doppler Velocity Log

Workhorse Doppler Velocity Log Traditional underwater navigation systems provide only periodic position update that can leave you uncertain as to where your ROV/AUV, or vehicle is located.

Teledyne RD Instruments revolutionary Workhorse Navigator DVLs fill in these gaps with high rate, high precision navigation data, using patented BroadBand bottom tracking algorithms. Now you can feel confident that you know your exact underwater location at all times - even in deep water.

Teledyne RDI's DVLs can also be customized to meet your specific mission requirements.
