Since its inception CDL has been dedicated to becoming a world-leading provider of innovative engineered solutions sup- porting the dynamic challenges of the subsea industry. CDL offers a wide variety of market ready products and systems. Pi- oneers of the Tiny Optic Gyro System (TOGS), CDL also pro- vides products that satisfy the markets inertial positioning, sen- sor, telemetry and navigation requirements through their Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG), Ring Laser Gyro (RLG), Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), and Acoustic technologies. CDL is headquartered in SilverÞ eld House in Aberdeen, Scotland, and also has ofÞ ces in Houston, Texas and Rio de Janiero offering regional sales and customer support services covering the North, Central and South America customer base. CDL solution offerings include Inertial Navigation for both Subsea and Surface (Offshore and Onshore) applications, Posi- tioning Systems, Remote & Topside Data Collection, Attitude (Heading, Pitch & Roll Sensors) Sensing, Data Transfer. The Tech The Tech CDLs activities cover the innovative design, manufacturing, as well as the refurbishements/upgrading of equipment for surface and subsea use in the offshore and maritime industry. The product range includes a variety of inertial sensors includ- ing Gyrocompasses, Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) that provide measurement units for control and aid in navigation. CDLÕs product range covers the following market areas: - motion sensors - positioning and navigation equipment - data transfer - ROV sensors - data logging - subsea and surface, and - control & monitoring. DOER was founded in 1992 as Deep Ocean Exploration and Research with a focus on Þ eld support services and systems integrations, growing to include the design and build of pur- pose driven solutions. Today, DOER has a variety of products including ROVs, human occupied submersibles, manipulators, hydraulics and thrusters, while continuing to provide custom builds and Þ eld support. DOER builds range from the tradi- tional, such as the H2000 ROV and Sea Mantis manipulator, to the uniquely innovative, such as the Deepsearch submersible and Sub Ice ROV. Areas of expertise include extreme tunnel inspection systems, deep water ROVs and submersibles along with systems tailored for science, ocean observatory, and Þ lm making. DOER offers a variety consulting and testing ser- vices. The company is an independent; woman owned entity. The Tech The Tech The technology developed by DOER has an eye towards use of COTS and MOTS components. When solutions must be developed from the ground up, DOER controls costs through use of our own resources including Deep Machine, DOERÕs in house machine shop. Although DOER is known for taking on complex and unusual builds, there are many common as- semblies and components that work across a variety of manned and unmanned platforms, helping to keep costs down. Exam- ples are hydraulic manifolds and compensators that have been used on landers, samplers, ROVÕs and manned submersibles. The Sea Mantis manipulator, a proportional control arm, has been used on 7 submersibles, 5 ROVs and is adapted for use with special tooling and cutters. DOER is one of the few com- panies that will not only custom build for clients but will also assist with ship board integrations and operational concerns. This has been of particular interest to yacht owners consider- ing the addition of subsea equipment and the scientiÞ c com- munity when working from vessels of opportunity. Having the ability to capture specimens and share images is a critical part of any subsea operation. To that end, DOER has developed many sampling tools, skids, lighting and camera booms, along with Þ ber optics, Ethernet and custom camera housings.
