RBR CTDs for gliders and AUVs
APL-UW Seaglider with RBRlegato

CTDs for gliders and AUVs: low power, high accuracy

Our RBRlegato³ 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 RBRlegato³ and RBRcentauro³ CTDs can seamlessly integrate and control additional sensors, such as the RBRcoda³  T.ODO. 

Available on gliders and AUVs from leading manufacturers
