What Are Teledyne Marine Navigation Systems?

Teledyne Marine's Navigation Systems are advanced Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) designed to deliver high-precision orientation and navigation data for marine vessels and platforms.  


These systems include state-of-the-art gyrocompass technology, and a range of innovative tools engineered to provide accurate heading, pitch, and roll information in dynamic marine environments. ​

​​

Whether you are navigating deep waters or conducting precise offshore operations, Teledyne’s suite of navigation systems ensures your platform stays accurately oriented and informed. Our solutions include the renowned Saturn series​, the trusted TOGS system​, the Gyrocompass-Changeover-System, and Gyrocompass-Repeaters , offering a comprehensive navigation ecosystem. 

How Our Navigation Systems Work

Teledyne’s AHRS solutions combine inertial sensors, GPS inputs, and advanced algorithms to compute real-time orientation data. At the heart of these systems is the modern gyrocompass—an electronic compass that determines true north without relying on magnetic fields.  

Unlike traditional magnetic compasses, a gyrocompass calculates orientation by detecting the rotation of the Earth, offering unmatched accuracy and reliability. 

Our navigation systems continuously process motion and directional data, even in the absence of GPS signals, using gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers. This makes them essential for both surface vessels and underwater platforms that demand dependable navigation and heading reference.
