DMS
Dynamic Motion Sensors

Accurate motion measurement in all sea

conditions
The DMS range of motion sensors is designed specifically for
the motion measurement needs of the marine industry. Wheth-
er it is achieving IHO standard survey from any size of vessel,
or providing safety critical monitoring of offshore platforms,
large vessels, helicopter landing decks, cranes and positioning
systems, the DMS provides accurate motion measurement in
all sea conditions. Subsea
Incorporating an enhanced external velocity and heading aid-
ing algorithm for improved accuracy during dynamic manoeu-
vres, the solid state angular rate sensors offer reliability in the
highest performing vertical reference units ever produced by
TSS.
