Teledyne TSS DMS-05: Dynamic Motion Sensor

The Industry Standard for High-Precision Heave, Roll, and Pitch Measurement

Product Overview 

The Teledyne TSS DMS-05 is a high-performance Vertical Reference Unit (VRU) designed specifically to meet the motion measurement needs of the hydrographic survey and offshore industries. It is the highest-accuracy model in the renowned DMS range, engineered to provide stable and reliable data even during aggressive vessel maneuvers, tight turns, and rapid speed changes.

Built on solid-state angular rate technology, the DMS-05 incorporates advanced processing algorithms that blend inertial data with external GPS/GNSS velocity and heading aiding. This ensures that survey standards—including IHO Order 1—are maintained throughout the entire cross-track swath of modern multibeam echosounders (like the R2 Sonic or SeaBat series).

Why Choose the Teledyne TSS DMS-05?

• Exceptional Dynamic Accuracy: Delivers a roll and pitch accuracy of 0.05° RMS, ensuring that motion artifacts are eliminated from your high-resolution bathymetric data.
• Immunity to Vessel Turns: While many sensors drift during long turns, the DMS-05 utilizes enhanced aiding algorithms to maintain precise vertical reference, maximizing your "on-line" survey time.
• Versatile Depth Options: Available in a compact surface housing for vessel decks or a subsea housing rated to 3,000m (standard) or 6,000m (optional) for ROV, AUV, and towed body integration.
• Seamless Integration: Designed to work as the primary motion reference for multibeam systems, it supports all major industry-standard data protocols and interfaces directly with GPS/DGPS and heading gyros.
• Simplified Configuration: Managed via the intuitive DMSView Windows™ software, allowing for rapid setup, real-time monitoring, and custom data output configuration.
