Wayfinder DVL
Key Features:
Pocket-sized packaging: At just 10x10x7 cm, the palm-sized Wayfinder is ideally suited to micro-ROVs.
Unmatched performance: Superior data quality compared with other DVLs of similar size.
Affordable: TRDI’s renowned performance and data quality at an unprecedentedly low price.
Reliability: Literally thousands of Teledyne Marine DVLs are used worldwide on critical commercial, academic, and defense missions.
Easy integration: Comprehensive open-source online tools, support, and documentation.
The expertise of nearly 30 years of experience and over 5000 DVLs in the field has been distilled into a pocket-sized package—the Wayfinder DVL. Designed for today’s micro-ROVs, precision navigation and positioning of underwater vehicles has never been easier and more affordable. Wayfinder beats any DVL in its size class when you want to:
Reduce Costs:
Minimize repairs, repeat work, and integration headaches with lower-quality solutions.
Track position without the added expense and complexity of a Ultra Short Baseline (USBL) system.
Know vehicle altitude without the cost and added payload of an altimeter.
Create Better Images and Maps
Support flexible mission objectives from subsea cameras and videography to seabed mapping.
Record locations where images/photos were taken.
Improve Productivity
Navigate safely, even in turbid and deep water.
Find and retrieve deployed objects more efficiently.
Reduce Complexity When Piloting
Hover and station keep your ROV with confidence.
Mark waypoints or sites for later return.
