London, England, March 21, 2006 -- Teledyne RD Instruments is launching two new products at the Oceanology International conference in London England in March 2006.

The revolutionary new DVS, Doppler Volume Sampler, was developed by Teledyne RDI to support a multi-year contract from NOAA/PMEL for a next generation moored current profiler. The new low power DVS offers an advanced alternative to single point current meters. DVS incorporates Teledyne RDI’s patented 4-beam solution to detect mooring line interference, and can accurately measure velocity shear near the instrument. Other features include an internal high accuracy temperature probe and SeaBird’s next generation underwater inductive modem technology for real-time data requirements.

Teledyne RDI is also introducing the Explorer Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), the newest addition to the Teledyne RDI family of DVL products for precision navigation applications. Explorer has been designed to provide Workhorse precision in a package that meets the stringent size, weight and power constraints of this next generation of smaller, littoral vehicles.
