PERFORMANCE
Through the application of hydrodynamics and intensive university research, Northern Diver have maximised the efficiency and power of the Thrusters to reach their full potential. We are constantly working to ensure the user’s kit will provide the best streamlined profile underwater, to reduce drag and increase the speed of our Dive Thrusters. The development of a sleek battery cover and ensuring the battery housing harness remains as low profile as possible, will further enhance performance.
ERGONOMICS
The various user groups applications have been considered when designing and configuring the thrusters harness systems. The equipment has been refined for seamless integration with the user’s standard kit. The thrusters include two choices of harness and belt for wearing the kit.
- Tactical harness improves comfort, practicality, and usability, the controller can be configured to right or left.
- A tactical lightweight belt with removable shoulder straps to further improve integration with fully kitted operators.
We cater sizes to a wide range of combat swimmers and both systems feature quick release buckles which allow the battery pack to be changed under water. They also have a MOLLE Systems for storage.
NIMROD – REMOTE CONTROL
In addition to the manual control provided, the Thrusters have the capability to be remotely operated with Northern Diver’s NIMROD underwater navigation system.
This enables the user to alter their speed without removing his hand from the navigation equipment giving complete control, whilst maintaining a smooth underwater profile. NIMROD console with DVL makes your mission fully covert.
Did you buy another manufacturer’s thrusters? Northern Divers NIMROD underwater navigation system can control your thrusters wirelessly with the addition of a compact adaptor which is easily fitted. Contact us to discuss.
