The US Government as represented by Secretary of the Navy (Arlington, VA), describes the challenge for divers in their patent application as follows: “ By their very nature, underwater dive missions are difficult and inherently dangerous. Furthermore, the complexity of underwater missions can make it difficult or impossible for a diver to retain all pre-mission briefing information.

Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) System – Diving Technology Funded by the Office of Naval Research (“ONR”) through its Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) program, and in close collaboration with NAVSEA 00C3 and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (“NSWC PCD”) we have developed a diver see-through integrated information display system (DAVD).
Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) System – Diving Technology Funded by the Office of Naval Research (“ONR”) through its Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) program, and in close collaboration with NAVSEA 00C3 and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (“NSWC PCD”) we have developed a cutting-edge Augmented Reality (AR) technology (DAVD), purpose-built product to enhance diver safety, performance and situational awareness in low-visibility and technically demanding underwater environments.
Our software development capability is an important part of our strategy to maintain our lead in designing, manufacturing, and selling state-of-the-art real time volumetric imaging sonars and our DAVD System. It also allows us to be responsive to our customers’ requirements for new features and capabilities around our solutions.
The software is a critical component of the capabilities and features of our sonar series. Our software development capability is an important part of our strategy to maintain our lead in designing, manufacturing, and selling state-of-the-art real-time volumetric imaging sonars and our DAVD System.
The DAVD solution has the potential to radically change how diving operations are performed globally because it delivers real time information simultaneously to the divers underwater and their surface-based dive supervisors. The DAVD Head- Up Display (“HUD”) is used as a data portal for the diver while underwater.
The target market for the untethered variant is the military and special forces operations divers. The DAVD solution has the potential to radically change how diving operations are performed globally because it delivers real time information simultaneously to the divers underwater and their surface-based dive supervisors.
We are therefore dependent on obtaining, on a timely basis, export licenses to many foreign jurisdictions including China. In addition, as a provider for the US Government, we may be subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to the award, administration, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (“DFARs”) and performance of US Government contracts, including the False Claims Act.
