Teledyne RD Instruments (RDI) has introduced the Workhorse Proteus, the latest version of its industry-standard Workhorse ADCPs (acoustic Doppler current profilers).
Compatible with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), Teledyne’s Workhorse Proteus collects current and wave data, measurements of flow, transport, and discharge, in oceans, estuaries, and rivers.
With the processing horsepower to simultaneously sample at multiple spatial and temporal scales, Proteus is able to unlock a new understanding of waves, turbulence, and the changing currents below the surface.
The Workhorse Proteus reportedly delivers the most data possible with a single instrument. Its key features include:
- The Proteus Advanced Doppler Sonar Platform (ADSP) – an advanced Doppler processing platform
- Catalyst Processor for fast processing
- New RDI attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) and dynamic bin mapping
- Elegant planning software
- Five beams for direct measurement of ocean’s vertical velocity
- Versatile deployment options
- Robust, repeatable broadband techniques
- Multiple communication options
Grant Jennings, Product Line Director of RDI, commented, “RDI’s engineering and product development team have harnessed our 40 years of Doppler sonar experience to design the perfect ADCP. Our engineers are the best in the industry, and I am thrilled with the final product we will offer our customers.”
