ORE Offshore was founded in 1961 and originally focused on sub- surface flotation and acoustically released anchors for oceanographic moorings. Over the years, ORE has expanded and now manufactures high accuracy acoustic positioning, communication and control systems.

ORE has two main product lines:

Underwater Navigation &

Positioning and Acoustic

Communication & Control. The

Navigation & Positioning systems are used to track underwater vehicles and the Communication & Control products are used to locate, commu- nicate and activate or control devices underwater. ORE Offshore , an affil- iate of EdgeTech sells these products and systems to commercial, institu- tional and military customers.

ORE provides systems that are designed to allow secure command and control capability and systems that accurately track underwater vehi- cles of all types. ORE’s acoustic release products and long life transponders are designed around very low current circuits intended to extend battery life. ORE’s tracking systems are designed around opera- tions in noisy environments while maintaining accuracy and long opera- tional ranges. The company offers a wide range of standard acoustic prod- ucts but also prides itself on develop- ing and delivering engineered to order systems for customers with unique requirements. Additionally

ORE designs and manufactures its own transducer and hydrophone assemblies in order to achieve the level of capability, positioning accura- cy, and reliability that their customers expect. With an acoustic calibration tank and pressure test capabilities

ORE Offshore can thoroughly test and calibrate all of the equipment that the company offers.

LYYN’s goal is to improve visibility through real-time image enhancement based on years of research in the human vision system and imaging technologies.

LYYN offers products and solutions based on the V.E.T. – Visibility

Enhancement Technology – platform.

V.E.T. aims to improve visibility (partic- ularly the possibility to see colors, move- ment and contours) in subsea, fog, snow, dust, sand, lowlight, etc as well as in e.g. medicinal applications. V.E.T. works on images and video from normal color cameras, but can also be used in processing saved material.
