Underwater sensors for measuring motion in marine environments
We make acoustic sensors for ocean scientists and engineers. Our ADCPs measure currents and waves and our DVLs aid subsea vehicle navigation.
Marine science and research
Oceanographers, marine scientists and government researchers require innovative oceanographic equipment that gives them data they can trust.
Marine autonomy
DVLs provide crucial information to ROV operators and enable subsea and surface vehicles in GPS-denied environments to navigate reliably underwater.
Defense and security
Trusted by leading defense contractors, Nortek’s DVLs enable accurate subsea navigation for AUVs, ROVs, USVs, and diver systems in critical missions.
Coastal engineering
Comprehensive knowledge of the sea state near coastal communities informs coastal protection measures and safe coastal operations.
Operations & Energy
Knowledge of metocean conditions is crucial to ensure safety and efficiency of personnel working offshore on projects from feasibility studies to laying cable.
Marine resources
Informed management of fisheries, ocean ecosystems, kelp farms and more contributes to sustainable human development.
Our technology is used in oceanography and subsea navigation.
Nortek’s advanced Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) use the Doppler effect to measure motion in the marine environment. ADCPs are used to measure oceanographic processes as seen in currents and waves, while DVLs help subsea vehicles to navigate underwater.
