Wayfinder DVL is a compact Doppler velocity log engineered for precise underwater navigation and positioning of micro-ROVs. Drawing on decades of Teledyne Marine expertise and thousands of deployed systems, it delivers high-quality velocity and altitude data in a palm-sized form factor measuring just 10 × 10 × 7 cm.
The unit is designed to simplify integration while maintaining dependable performance, supported by open-source tools, extensive documentation, and proven reliability across commercial, research, and defense operations.
Optimized for subsea inspection, mapping, and recovery tasks, Wayfinder enables accurate station keeping, waypoint tracking, and navigation in low-visibility or deep-water conditions. It reduces system complexity by removing the need for additional sensors such as USBL or standalone altimeters, while supporting improved imaging workflows through precise position tagging. With low power consumption, robust communications, and consistent data output, it enhances mission efficiency across applications including infrastructure inspection, aquaculture, salvage, and search and rescue.
