applied acoustics delivers mission-ready underwater tracking solutions designed to meet the demanding operational requirements of modern defense forces.
Trusted by naval organizations and defence contractors worldwide, the company’s commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) acoustic tracking systems provide reliable positioning capabilities for complex subsea missions.
Drawing on years of collaboration with military organisations, applied acoustics understands the stringent operational and manufacturing standards required in defence environments. Naval missions frequently involve coordinated assets operating both above and below the water’s surface, making stable, precise and rapid underwater positioning essential for mission success.
The company’s acoustic tracking systems support a wide range of operational scenarios. For diver operations, shallow-water and short-range tracking solutions enable accurate monitoring of navy, military and mine clearance divers during critical underwater tasks. For more advanced operations, high-accuracy long-range tracking systems provide reliable navigation and guidance for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), supporting inspection missions, intelligence gathering, and mine countermeasures (MCM) operations.
All applied acoustics systems undergo rigorous reliability testing under extreme environmental conditions in accordance with MIL standards. Fully approved for military use, the systems are designed for seamless integration with existing defence platforms while delivering high durability and ruggedness required for challenging operational environments.
Robert Olsen, CEO, Rov AS, said, “We have always received great support and good value for money from applied acoustics. They respond quickly when we need to install a new system or repair an existing system, and always help us find a solution that works. They are a supplier that we really can count on, even when we have a need for custom solutions.”
