Wayfinder DVL

Precise Performance in a Pocket-sized Package

Teledyne RD Instruments has announced the launch of our new highly anticipated Wayfinder Doppler Velocity Log (DVL).

The Wayfinder has been designed to provide Doppler navigation capability for micro vehicles, which are often constrained by stringent size, weight and budget limitations.  Measuring just 10 x 10 x 7 cm and weighing in at 850g, Teledyne RDI’s new Wayfinder is ideally suited to address the needs of increasingly smaller subsea vehicles.

The Wayfinder DVL provides precession performance in a pocket sized package that makes it ideal for integration into micro ROVs and UUVs.

Performance matters. Wayfinder has demonstrated superior data quality compared with DVLs of similar size in in water tests. Don’t risk your mission’s success to inferior solutions.

Key Features:

​Pocket-Sized Packaging

At just 10 cm x 10 cm x 7 cm, Wayfinder is by far the smallest DVL Teledyne has ever designed, making it ideally suited for micro ROVs. Wayfinder literally puts subsea navigation in the palm of your hand.

Affordable

Often, smaller vehicles mean smaller budgets, but that doesn’t mean you need to compromise on technology. Wayfinder’s low price enables a new generation of scientists, explorers and hobbyists to navigate micro vehicles with confidence.

Proven Reliability

Thousands of Teledyne Marine DVLs are in use on vehicles worldwide, conducting critical missions for commercial, defence and academic applications.

Easy to Integrate & Operate

Wayfinder has been designed for quick and easy installation and operation. With our comprehensive online support, tools and documentation, your DVL will be installed and ready to go in no time.
