And why you should.

General Dynamics, a leader in the design and development of LNG tankers-chose the latest development in speed measurement technology-the Raytheon all digital DSL-200

Doppler Speed Log. Why? For any one or more of 5 specific reasons. Because the Raytheon

DSL-200 has 5 outstanding advantages over competitive systems. If you're a ship designer, builder, or owner, you should know what Gen- eral Dynamics knows about why the DSL-200 is the best choice in Doppler Speed Logs. 1. Low Overall Cost. First cost and installation cost are low. The DSL-200 transducer can be positioned most anywhere, depending upon the hull configuration. 2. Low Operating Cost. Reliable modular digital circuits never need calibration. 3. Speed and Depth Data. The DSL-200 pro- vides accurate speed and depth informa- tion down to 1000' (automatically switches to watermass tracking beyond 1000')... 0.5% accuracy at all depths. 4. "Other-Systems" Compatible. DSL-200 delivers accurate speed data for your expen- sive navigation systems. 5. Expandability. DSL-200 can easily be ex- panded to include doppler docking, naviga- tion and anti-stranding capabilities.
