Teledyne RD Instruments (TRDI) will supply 600 kHz Pathfinder Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) to provide precision navigation capability for Riptide’s Micro UUV for a recent order for the US Navy.
Riptide’s Micro UUV provides users with an affordable platform suited for new autonomy, power system, subsea sensor, and payload development.
Bill Key , sales director for Riptide said, “Our team selected Teledyne RDI’s Pathfinder DVL because it’s the smallest DVL, delivering the highest performance. This unit, coupled with our iXblue INS, will deliver a 200% increase in navigation performance with a minimal impact on vehicle endurance. Teledyne RDI’s vast experience with DVL technology played a key role in selecting the Pathfinder. It’s great to have a vendor that’s also a true partner in ensuring that our customers receive an optimal solution.”
