DVL A250
Building on Water Linked’s proven expertise, the A250 delivers exceptional performance with an acoustic range of up to 250 meters, doubling the reach of previous models while maintaining an incredibly small and efficient form factor.
Engineered for reliability and precision, the A250 maintains bottom lock at speeds up to 15 m/s and can operate from altitudes as low as 30cm, offering seamless performance from ultra-short to ultra-long range.

Follow the industry trend
As underwater vehicles become smaller and more accessible, the demand for affordable, lightweight sensors is skyrocketing. Stay ahead of the curve and make sure that you meet your customers' needs.
After the proven performance of the DVL A125, committing to the DVL A250 for our CORAX 600 AUV was an easy decision, particularly given the increased range and the O-ring interface that allows for compact, integrated installation. New features such as triggering made this DVL a perfect fit for the CORAX 600 AUV with bathymetric sidescan.
