Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Water Linked A50 is the world's smallest Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), designed to enhance navigation and control for small ROVs and AUVs. It offers a compact and cost-effective solution without compromising performance.

Key Features
  • Altitude range: 5 cm to 50 m
  • Depth rating: 300 m or 600 m
  • Interfaces: Ethernet and Serial
  • Embedded computer for standalone operation
  • Integrated AHRS for increased accuracy
  • Compact size for easy mounting and integration
  • Web GUI with diagnostic features

Performance and Integration
The A50's small size and weight make it suitable for small vehicles, allowing them to operate at depths up to 600 m. Larger vehicles also benefit from its high accuracy and cost-effectiveness. The integrated AHRS enables dead reckoning positioning, providing accurate tracking without full integration with vehicle control systems.

DVL A50-1

The Water Linked A50 is the world's smallest Doppler Velocity Log (DVL). By utilising the latest technology Water Linked has been able to reduce the size and cost of the DVL, while delivering a level of performance previously not possible in a product so small. Thanks to the size and weight of the A50, the smallest ROVs and AUVs can now benefit from increased navigation and control. This allows these small vehicles operating in water depths down to 600m to perform tasks that would have previously required a larger and more expensive vehicle. Although a clear benefit for small vehicles, larger vehicles requiring high accuracy navigation features also benefit from the size, weight, and cost benefits of fitting this high accuracy DVL. While typically integrated fully to the ROV or AUV for enhanced control, the integrated Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) within the A50 allows the DVL to be used for dead reckoning positioning. This feature allows the A50 to generate an accurate track plot of the vehicles movements without the need to fully integrate with the vehicle control system. • Ethernet and Serial interface Embedded computer for standalone operation • AHRS for increased accuracy Extremely small size enabling easy mounting and integration Web GUI with comprehensive diagnostic features
