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 provides safety and efficiency for humans and requires reliable sensors onboard.

Survey and Reconnaissance

Subsea vehicles are often used for surveillance purposes to gather intelligence for naval operations. When operating autonomously, vehicles must be able to follow a pre-set path.

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.
