DVL A50
The DVL A50 is the world’s smallest Doppler Velocity Log (DVL). By utilizing the latest technology, we have reduced the size and cost while delivering a level of performance previously not possible in a product so small.
The A50 provides accurate velocity data relative to the seabed. This data allows underwater vehicles and divers to navigate with greater precision and stability, even in dynamic environments like strong currents or complex terrain.
