MTR MTR 100 100Which companies are included in your group? Site an example of your group collaboration. The Sensors Group includes Teledyne Geophysical Instruments, Teledyne RD Instruments, Teledyne TSS and Teledyne CDL. Collectively this group designs, develops, manu- factures and delivers a wide variety of sensor technologies that are utilized to measure phenomenon of interest or to facilitate accurate measurement of the phenomenon. Our current sensor suite directly measure acoustic energy, water velocity and direction, physical motion, pipe and cable location (through induced signals), water conductivity, temperature and depth (pressure). Teledyne?s navi- gation and motion measurement instru-ments and systems facilitate delivering an instrumentation package to a location of interest on ROV?s, AUV?s, ASV?s as well as manned systems and our motion reference units assure that the in uence of heave, pitch and roll can be com- pensated for in high-accuracy, complex systems. Through our Sensors Group as well as our Systems Group we of-fer products that facilitate surface and subsurface systems operation. These devices include motion measurement, data loggers, data telemetry systems, etc. Teledyne CDL in particular offers a wide range of products and services for solving complex subsea system integra- tion challenges. Our individual business units are continually identifying ways to bring more value to the market by col- laborating across the groups. Perhaps the broadest example of this is the utili- zation of Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) in systems to enhance the navigation capability. This includes the use of RDI DVL?s on Webb Gliders and Gavia AUV?s as well as for integration into In- ertial Navigation Systems produced by CDL and TSS.

With such a large and diverse group it is dif cult to select only one Teledyne Marine Sensors Group William Kikendall, President of Marine Sensors and Systems Group Photo credit: Dr. Peter Gill July/August 2014 TRDI ADC60 MTRMTR #6 (50-65).indd 60MTR #6 (50-65).indd 607/31/2014 10:00:54 AM7/31/2014 10:00:54 AM
