uvSVX Sensor

The uvSVX is a compact sound velocity profiler for ROVs, AUVs and unmanned underwater vehicles that also delivers calculated salinity and density data. Utilizing Valeport's proprietary time-of-flight technology and sophisticated digital signal processing. it provides entirely linear output resulting in reliable and consistent performance under all conditions.

The robust sensor is enclosed within a 6000 metre-rated titanium housing, and features a unique interchangeable pressure module that allows users to optimize performance for specific depths.
