Teledyne RD Instruments presents Workhorse Proteus ADCP
Teledyne RD Instruments (RDI) recently introduced the Workhorse Proteus, the newest and most technologically advanced addition to its renowned Workhorse ADCP line. RDI pioneered the industry’s first commercially available ADCP in 1982.
With powerful processing capabilities that allow simultaneous sampling across multiple spatial and temporal scales, Proteus provides a fresh perspective on waves, turbulence, and the dynamic currents beneath the surface. This innovative instrument is designed to maximize data collection in a single deployment. Key features include the Proteus Advanced Doppler Sonar Platform (ADSP) – the company's most sophisticated Doppler processing system; the Catalyst Processor for high-speed processing; the new RDI AHRS with dynamic bin mapping; intuitive planning software; five beams for direct measurement of ocean vertical velocity; flexible deployment options; reliable, repeatable broadband techniques; and multiple communication options.
Grant Jennings, RDI’s product line director, 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.”
With over 40,000 Doppler products delivered globally, Teledyne RD Instruments remains the leading manufacturer of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) for current profiling and wave measurement, as well as Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) for precision underwater navigation.
