Defense and security
Nortek's DVLs have been trusted by top defense contractors worldwide as aids to subsea navigation for over a decade.
Nortek's DVLs are used on AUVs, ROVs, USVs or diver handheld systems for navigation underwater, providing accuracy and safety in defense applications.
Mine Countermeasures (MCM)
AUVs and ROVs are often used in MCM to both detect and classify mine threats. Using unmanned systems like these is safer and more efficient than using divers and is enabled by reliable sensors onboard.
Survey and Reconnaissance
Subsea vehicles perform autonomous surveillance and data collection in GNSS-denied environments where traditional positioning is unavailable. Nortek’s DVLs ensure these missions stay on course with unmatched accuracy and stability.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)
ROVs are often used for EOD missions, safely disarming and disposing of explosive materials found underwater. Vehicles must be able to reliably navigate in dangerous areas.
Nortek is a proud member of FSi.no, Norway's leading industry association for the defense and security sector.
