Electronic compass for subsea vehicle navigation

Explore the project

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