Teledyne Marine Introduces the Teledyne Compact Navigator at ocean Business 2025
The Teledyne Compact Navigator, showcased at ocean Business 2025, is a cutting-edge, ultra-compact autonomous navigation solution that excels in size, weight, power efficiency, performance, and functionality.This innovative device is perfectly suited for both small subsea and surface vehicles, broadening the possibilities for inspection and survey tasks while providing precise navigation in a streamlined format.
The Compact Navigator is available in two depth-rated models—4000 meters and 300 meters—developed through Teledyne Marine’s proprietary technology in partnership with top navigation specialists and prominent ROV and AUV manufacturers.
### Key Features
- Compact and Accurate Navigation: With dimensions of just Ø114mm x 135mm, it fits within the space of most standalone DVLs, yet it outperforms larger navigation systems.
- Exceptional Energy Efficiency: Consuming less than 7 watts, this device marks a notable advancement in power efficiency, enabling extended mission durations and reducing the frequency of vehicle surfacing.
- Effortless Integration: The lightweight design and minimal cabling streamline installation, cut costs, and maximize space on compact vehicles.
the Compact Navigator operates autonomously, negating the need for external assistance or operator input, wich enhances user-friendliness. It boasts extensive connectivity options, including power, Ethernet, dual triggers, and serial connections, all accessible through a single connector. The advanced phased array DVL technology boosts performance while maintaining a compact footprint, allowing the device to be flush-mounted on auvs or vessel hulls.
### Versatile Applications
Designed for adaptability, the Compact Navigator caters to a variety of applications, including ROVs, AUVs, shallow water surface navigation, GNSS-denied environments, and dynamic positioning for surface vessels.This navigator merges true North-seeking gyrocompass-grade performance with an intuitive WebUI for seamless integration, operation, and troubleshooting. Its factory-calibrated design and optional battery backup ensure reliability in challenging conditions.
Unlike conventional surface navigation systems, the Compact Navigator functions independently of GNSS, making it immune to jamming or signal loss. This feature is especially vital for shallow water navigation, where traditional GNSS-dependent systems may falter. Additionally, the Compact Navigator is ITAR-free, facilitating easy export, global availability, and local technical support.
Rolf Christensen,Head of Product Management at Teledyne Marine,stated,“The Compact Navigator signifies a major advancement in navigation technology. Its ultra-compact design, high accuracy, premium titanium construction, and capability to function in difficult acoustic environments make it the preferred choice for operators seeking dependable, high-performance navigation in both subsea and surface contexts.”
