Description
Teledyne RD Instruments’ Pathfinder Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) is small in size and huge on value! Utilizing Teledyne RDI’s proven, industry-leading phased-array technology, the Pathfinder DVL provides an array of advanced internal algorithms and features you’d typically expect to find only in higher-end solutions. With up to 500 m of bottom tracking, in up to 6000 m of water, the Pathfinder delivers a solid, value-priced solution for vehicles ranging from small inspection class ROVs to large diameter AUVs.
Key Features include:
- NEW! Now available in 300 kHz OEM configuration for up to 500m bottom tracking!
- Small but mighty: Dramatically reduced size and weight allows Pathfinder to be installed onboard the smallest vehicles
- Phased Array: Unique phased array transducer design delivers outstanding position accuracy at a reduced size, eliminates the need for speed of sound correction, and reduces drag on your vehicle.
- XRT (Extended Range Tracking): Our patented option delivers up to a 60% increase in the bottom tracking range.
- Health Monitor: Provides insight and alerts in near real-time of potential problems including transducer health, operating time, and leaks from potential damage.
- Water tracking: Extend your vehicle’s range of operability by enabling navigation even when the bottom is out of range.
- INS-ready: Real-time standard deviation and time of validity output for highly accurate coupling with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) further improves your resulting DVL aided INS position accuracy.
- ADCP: Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling (ADCP) option expands scientific and operational capabilities as needs arise.
- Budget-minded: Priced for smaller budgets, without the need to compromise on performance.
