Avon launches Core Intelligent diver undersuit
Core Intelligent includes multiple autonomous heating zones located on the torso, hands and feet.
Avon Protection has launched a new heated undersuit for military divers.
The Core Intelligent undersuit, which is compatible with wetsuit and drysuit diving systems. It was developed from close collaboration with key military users and a partnership with manufacturer Santi.
Core Intelligent comprises multiple autonomous heating zones located on the torso, hands and feet. Utilising active sensing, each zone is monitored by a sensor and can be heated individually or all at once to maintain body temperature.
The undersuit is designed to maintain diver body temperature in all water conditions, thereby addressing the rising problem of non-freezing cold injuries in training and on operations.
‘In the diving sphere the prevalence and diagnosis of this injury is on the rise, particularly with the adoption of diver propulsion systems and underwater vehicles,’ Avon noted in a 15 January announcement.
