Most of our engineers were the original engineers who, 25 years ago, helped develop the Workhorse ADCP, that users around the world still remember and use today.

Rowe Technologies Inc. instruments are divided into two categories: Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) and Doppler Velocity Logs (DVL) and further subdivided into direct-reading (powered) and self-contained systems (battery). Direct-reading systems output data live to be displayed and processed. Self-contained systems store data internally and can be downloaded manually upon instrument recovery. All Rowe Technologies Inc. products have dual functionality and can function as an ADCP or as a DVL, and the deployment type is defined during software integration.

The ADCP is a hydro-acoustic instrument or sonar device that is used to measure water velocities in discrete layers over a range defined by the acoustic frequency. The ADCP emits a sound signal of a specific frequency and measures the return frequency that is received from backscatter off particles in the water column.

The DVL is a hydro-acoustic device that is used to bottom-track or process emitted sound signal that returns from the seafloor or river bottom. A DVL combined with a position fix (via GPS) and a compass enables accurate underwater navigation for submarines, autonomous and remotely operated vehicles.

Some of our popular new ADCP ideas include the Dual Frequency ADCP, where you can choose 2 different frequencies and up to 8 beams in a single set of electronics and the OEM ADCP, where you design your own housing and we supply the transducers and electronics. Multiple configurations, where you can setup a single deployment to use 2 different bin sizes for the same frequency. We have shipped hundreds of ADCPs and DVLs around the world to leading companies, like Oceaneering, GreenSea, SAAB, Schilling, L3, Ocean Science, MBARI and the US Military.
