PNPCODA System Message. Given the influx of access traffic brought about by the simultaneous NATIONWIDE VACCINATION and the additional module of the SELF-ASSESSMENT, the PNPCODA is experiencing access traffic. Given the priority for the SWAB TESTING in CRAME, PRO7 and PRO11 and the NATIONAWIDE VACCINATION ROLL-OUT, the PNPCODA team is. When connected to a Level 2, 240V power source, the Coda reaches full charge in about six hours - one hour quicker than the Leaf with its smaller 24-kW-h battery and 3.3-kW charger.

(CODA) (Nasdaq: CODA), a global leader in real-time 3D sonar technology and real-time subsea intelligence, announced that its R&D team had accelerated the development of the GEN 2.0 Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) system during the pandemic shutdown and is making significant progress on completing the DAVD GEN 2.0 developments.
CODA had previously released the GEN 1.5 upgrade, with fully integrated diver head tracking in the head-up display (HUD), just prior to the pandemic shutdown. It is expected that a rapid and smooth transition to GEN 2.0 capabilities will occur in late 2020. CODA also announced the successful development of a DAVD companion product, a diver-specific Echoscope4G® C500 Inspector solution that includes a custom rapid-deployment frame for surface or seafloor deployment. Coda Octopus Products has started to receive initial orders for DAVD GEN 1.0 systems, GEN 1.5 Upgrades and the companion DAVD C500 Inspector System.
The ground-breaking DAVD diver management system is funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) through its Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) program, and continues to be managed by NAVSEA 00C3. The DAVD Launch Team – comprised of Coda Octopus 3D experts, NAVSEA Master Divers and Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) engineers – is currently trialling the newly developed DAVD GEN 2.0 features, during its GEN 1.0 roll-out to the U.S. Navy Fleet. The roll-out program restarted in mid-July after a delay since early March, due to the restriction of movement.
The significant advancements under the DAVD GEN 2.0 Development Program include:
- New Generation of the Diver Processing Pack (DPP) with onboard sensor payload including calibrated Attitude Sensors package, Depth Sensor and First-Person Perspective Digital Video system,
- Advanced Depth Rating and performance, while greatly reducing the head-up display (HUD) form factor for integration to Full Face Mask (FFM) and other hard-hat diving helmets, and
- Integrated Digital Audio system between Diver and Surface support for remote commanding, audio-based instructions and signal processing – solving oft-used and previously challenging diver-to-surface audio communications.
Coda Octopus Products has also developed a DAVD companion product: the DAVD C500 Inspector System for divers. The Inspector System includes CODA’s fourth generation (4G) Echoscope® C500 Surface real-time 3D sonar system and a custom rapid-deployment frame for surface or seafloor deployment. The system allows rapid imaging and mapping of the underwater scene without the need for complex positioning systems. The C500 Inspector uniquely remains in the water during diver operations and, when not providing mapping and scene awareness, is used to track and monitor the divers in real-time. This novel solution package can be deployed quickly from a quay wall, small craft or lowered to the seafloor attached to the Diver Cage.
Coda 2 Gen And 4th
Paul D. McMurtrie, Diving Equipment RDT&E Program Manager for Naval Sea Systems Command 00C38, commented: “The DAVD System is an important part of the Office of Naval Research Future Naval Capabilities. We are glad that Coda Octopus took the opportunity to advance GEN 2.0 development and we now project a faster roll-out of the next-gen diver management system. The speed at which this advanced system is being embraced by our diving community is solid evidence of the importance of this technology and its capabilities for Naval Diving Operations.”
Blair Cunningham, CODA’s President of Technology, commented: “We are very pleased with the accelerated development of the DAVD GEN 2.0 system and the complementary DAVD C500 Inspector System. Now that we’re able to be back in the water with the Navy Divers, we are using these opportunities to validate and showcase the new GEN 2.0 features. We hope to roll-out DAVD GEN 2.0, in full, by the end of the 2020 calendar year.”
