​

​​​Proteus Advanced Doppler Sonar Platform (ADSP): The newest, most advanced Doppler processing platform. Enables smaller form factor. Capability for more sophisticated pinging and sampling schemes to achieve precise research goals.

​Catalyst Proce​​ssor: Fast processing. Easy to integrate and communicate with your electronics platform. Reliable data logging. Future potential for adding capability to the ADCP. Apps that could deliver critical real-time data.​

​New RDI AHRS and Dynamic Bin Mapping: Better orientation compensation leading to more accurate data and more conclusive scientific results.​
​Elegant Planning Software: Proteus can be used by anyone, even non-ADCP experts. Meets the needs of a workforce that is increasingly new, with diverse experience and education levels. (Traditionalists, don’t worry; it “speaks” RDI’s standard protocol too.)​

​Five Beams for direct measurement of ocean’s vertical velocity: Vertical profiling with high-precision velocities and high-resolution echo for sediment, biological, and wave measurement applications under wide- ranging conditions. Expands your research and collaboration capabilities.​

​Versatile Deployment Options: No other ADCP can match the Proteus in the variety of applications and operational needs a single instrument can serve. Time and cost savings accrue with each new project or change in deliverable. ​
​RDI’s Broadband Techniques—robust, accepted, repeatable: Makes Proteus the instrument you can stake your research reputation on.

​Multiple Communication Options—combined serial and ethernet on single instrument: Easy to integrate and communicate with your electronics platform, now and in the future.​

​Narrow Beam Width: Provides most robust data through higher precision and low error velocity, avoiding biases that contaminate your data.​

​Captive Hardware and LED: Provides reliability in rough environments. Minimizes time and stress in the field with smart mechanical design. Upon deployment, you have confidence that the instrument will work in challenging ocean environment.​

​20 Degree Beam Angle: Up to 33% reduction of side lobe interference. Maximizes profiling range by measuring closer to boundaries. Each ping delivers the most valid data, leading to the most swift, precise decision-making and less operational downtime.​
