Teledyne RDI has moved! >>details

Originally founded as RD Instruments, the company was formed in 1982 by Fran Rowe and Kent Deines as a result of their development of the industry’s first Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), a revolutionary device capable of profiling currents at up to 128 individual points in the water column.

Through the years, RD Instruments experienced steady growth and remained dominant in the industry by providing an unwavering commitment to new product development, superior data quality, and the highest level of customer service and support.

In August 2005, RD Instruments was purchased by Teledyne Technologies, and now operates as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, Inc. Upon acquisition, the company’s name was changed to Teledyne RD Instruments.

The company currently employs over 200 multi-disciplined scientists, engineers, technicians, sales, and support personnel; and resides in an 80,000 square foot ISO-9001:2000 facility that includes state-of-the art engineering, laboratory, manufacturing, and test areas.

Through market growth and product diversification, the company is now comprised of three distinct business units:

Marine Measurements:
Acoustic Doppler current profiling and wave measurement products for coastal and deep water oceanographic environments.

Navigation:
Precision navigation products for the marine environment.

Water Resources:
Discharge and flow-measurement products for inland environments.

Teledyne RDI continues to lead the industry by providing our customers with innovative Doppler technology backed by unparalleled customer service and support.
