DVL500 Compact - 300 m

DVL500 Compact - 300 m

Bottom-Track From 0.3 to 175 M Range; 300 M Operational Depth

The DVL500-C combines the compact design of the standard DVL1000 with the superior bottom-track range of the DVL500. It can fly higher in the water column and closer to the seabed than similar equipment, enabling small vehicles to do bigger jobs.

Description

Highlights

  • Bottom-track from 0.3-175 m range
  • Per-ping and per-beam data quality estimates
  • 300 m operational depth

Applications

  • Small vehicles requiring longer bottom track range
  • Compact AUVs with high accuracy requirements
  • Easy integration with leading inertial navigation systems (INS)
