Description

The DVL-A50 is the world's smallest commercially available Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) designed for underwater navigation and positioning. It features a record-breaking 5 cm minimum altitude capability, making it ideal for precision operations close to the seabed. With 4-beam convex Janus array technology, integrated AHRS/IMU, and adaptive ping rates, it delivers high-precision velocity measurements and bottom tracking for ROVs and AUVs.
