Battelle builds on more than 40 years of "firsts" in research innovations—electric underwater and remotely operated tools, closed circuit breathing apparatus, definitive reports on breathing gas mixtures to enable deeper dives—to deliver best value solutions to customers in the military, scientific, and commercial undersea communities.
OUR APPROACH:
Using a total system perspective, we develop detailed system requirements, define the problem or design task, then determine the optimal solution to meet operational needs, cost, and schedule constraints.
Core competencies in undersea technology include:
- Special Operations Support—Design, development and rapid prototyping of innovative surface and underwater technologies for Special Operations Forces
- Technology Insertion—Improving fleet combat readiness with new technology to upgrade older systems and meet performance and cost requirements
- Submersibles—Manipulators, navigation and sensor systems, and environmental control systems
- Undersea Warfare—Innovative engineering solutions and technology in support of mine warfare, underwater vehicles, sensors, and undersea robotics
- Underwater Equipment and Work Systems—Specialized underwater work systems, including diver tools and ship husbandry equipment
- Sensor Integration—Integrating off-the-shelf and custom sensors into underwater systems including navigation, sonar, and communications
- Acoustics—Innovative quieting technologies and materials such as ATTENUATE™
- Corrosion—Corrosion prevention and control technologies and accelerated corrosion testing
