Miniature long range DVL

– DVL A125
The Water Linked A125 is the world’s smallest The size and weight of the A125 allows this DVL
long range Doppler Velocity Log (DVL). By to be used on the smallest of vehicles, while
utilising the latest technology Water Linked having a depth rating of 3000m means this high
has been able to reduce the size and cost of performance DVL can also be used on vehicles
the DVL, while delivering a level of performance that operate at these extreme depths.
