DVL A100
The Water Linked A100 is a compact high accuracy Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) designed to deliver precise velocity measurements in a lightweight, integration-friendly package.
Developed from Water Linked’s extensive experience in subsea navigation, the 1,000 meter depth rated A100 provides reliable bottom-track performance with an acoustic range of up to 100 meters, making it ideal for close-range and mid-range underwater operations.
Optimised for stability and accuracy, the A100 maintains bottom lock at speeds up to 5 m/s and operates at altitudes down to 5cm. This wide operating envelope ensures consistent performance across a variety of vehicle profiles and mission types, suitable for any size of ROV, AUV or USV.
