CTDs for gliders and AUVs: low power, high accuracy
Our RBRlegato⁴ and RBRcentauro³ CTDs offer a new world of measurement opportunities for gliders and AUVs.
We’ve designed the integration to be simple and straightforward on any vehicle. Optimized for flow dynamics, the instrument requires no pump to obtain fine structure measurements. The power requirement is 90% lower due to modern electronic design and the lack of moving parts. Improving integration efficiency, the RBRlegato⁴and RBRcentauro³ CTDs can seamlessly integrate and control additional sensors, such as the RBRcoda³ T.ODO, RBRtridente and RBRquadrante.
Available on gliders and AUVs from leading manufacturers
