What is a DVL?
A Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) represents a sophisticated underwater navigation technology
that precisely measures motion relative to the seafloor or water column.
Think of it as an underwater speedometer that uses sound waves to track movement
with remarkable accuracy. By bouncing acoustic signals off the bottom or particles in the water,
DVLs provide crucial velocity data that enables underwater vehicles and vessels
to navigate with confidence, much like how GPS guides vehicles on land.
