Know Where Your ROV Is. Even Without GPS.
The Water Linked DVL uses acoustic Doppler technology to measure the ROV’s velocity relative to the seafloor — enabling precise dead-reckoning position estimation in enclosed structures, deep water, and any GPS-denied environment. Combined with station-keeping capability, it gives operators a stable, accurately positioned ROV platform for inspection, sampling, and documentation tasks that demand precision.

Precision Underwater Positioning Without GPS
The Chasing Water Linked DVL (Doppler Velocity Log) is a high-precision underwater positioning payload for the Chasing M2 PRO and M2 PRO MAX ROV platforms. By measuring the ROV’s velocity relative to the seafloor using acoustic Doppler technology, the DVL enables accurate dead-reckoning navigation and station-keeping in GPS-denied underwater environments — where satellite positioning is unavailable and precise location data is critical to mission success.
Key Features
- Doppler Velocity Log Technology: Measures ROV velocity relative to the seafloor with high accuracy, enabling precise dead-reckoning position estimation during underwater operations
- GPS-Denied Navigation: Provides reliable positioning data in enclosed structures, deep water, and any environment where GPS signals cannot penetrate
- Station-Keeping Capability: Enables the ROV to hold a fixed position underwater without operator input — critical for inspection, sampling, and documentation tasks requiring a stable platform
- Compatible with M2 PRO and M2 PRO MAX: Platform-specific versions available with dedicated integration hardware for each ROV
- Quick Mounting Package Available: Upgrade kit for operators transitioning from M2 PRO to M2 PRO MAX without purchasing a full new DVL unit
Available Versions
- M2 PRO Version: Complete DVL unit with integration hardware configured for the Chasing M2 PRO
- M2 PRO MAX Version: Complete DVL unit with integration hardware configured for the Chasing M2 PRO MAX
- Quick Mounting Package (M2 PRO → M2 PRO MAX): Mounting hardware only — for operators who already own the M2 PRO DVL and are upgrading to the M2 PRO MAX
Operational Applications
- Precision infrastructure inspection requiring stable ROV positioning
- Subsea survey and mapping with accurate track-line navigation
- Search and recovery operations in GPS-denied environments
- Scientific sampling requiring station-keeping at a fixed underwater location
- Pipeline and cable route following with velocity-based navigation
