Our software is already integrated with Nortek, so it was really just turning on the switch.

Riggs said Nortek's DVLs offer a blend of features that give a good overall“SWaP-C”-
size, weight, power and cost.
Hydroid ran comparative“offboard” tests of the Nortek DVL1000 against systems from other manufacturers,
attaching them to a rig at sea.

Where currents are difficult to assess,
and a current meter is needed, Nortek's instrument is likely to be the one
used in future deployments of the Subsea Power Hub.
After having tested of one of Nortek's other DVLs, the DVL500,
his conclusion was that Nortek's DVL500 had a comparable or better accuracy than more expensive alternatives,
as well as some nice features like outputting figure of merit data,
When scientists and engineers at Hydroid set themselves the task of designing one of the most compact autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs) ever produced,
they collaborated with Nortek to provide high-quality navigational equipment capable
of fitting such a small form factor.
CCCC's hydrological surveyors have been using Nortek instruments on a number of projects over the last 12 years,
including the Signature1000 and Signature500 acoustic Doppler current profilers(ADCPs) to provide hydrological data that informs construction of ports and offshore developments.
Nortek has been able to play a role
in this side of China's economic revolution, through its collaboration with a subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company(CCCC), a Fortune 500 listed firm that has been at the forefront of the infrastructure drive.
Meanwhile, Greensea and Nortek collaborated to ensure that data from the DVL could
be integrated with information from the other sensors on board to provide a cohesive overall picture of location, speed and heading within Greensea's OPENSEA platform, which is well-known across the industry.

For these vehicles, Norwegian Doppler specialist Nortek deployed its DVL1000 Doppler Velocity Log in collaboration
with both VideoRay and Vermont's Greensea Systems- which supplied the OPENSEA operational software platform, inertial navigation, and an autonomous control system for the ROV- to create a versatile, powerful and extremely compact vehicle.
