HydroFlow

The HydroFlow ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) provides high-accuracy measurements of water flow for applications such as environmental monitoring, flood preparation, and irrigation. Featuring built-in gyro, temperature, pressure and tilting sensors, it can be fitted to a wide range of marine platforms including vessels, buoys, USVs and UUVs.

HydroFlow is available with two different operating frequencies - 600 kHz or 1200 kHz.
