Electronic compass for subsea vehicle navigation

Explore the project


GPS signals cannot travel through water, so subsea vehicles must use different instruments to navigate. Ourelectronic compasshas multiple sensors to measure tilt, pitch & roll, and acceleration that are used to compute the heading and speed of the vehicle.
