Syrinx DVL

Syrinx is a 600kHz doppler velocity log (DVL) for surface and subsea vehicles. It combines the high altitude, high-resolution features of 300kHz and 1200kHz DVLs in a single, easy to install navigation instrument. The adaptive bottom lock technology inside Syrinx provides consistency and reliability over challenging and changing topography and works at an altitude higher than 85% of the world’s subsea infrastructure. Also see SPRINT-Nav, our hybrid acoustic inertial navigator.
