Hardware & Systems Design

For decades Coda Octopus Colmek has been creating unique electronic hardware packages for specialized uses. Using both commercially available products and specialty products designed in-house, our team of engineers creates advanced circuit boards, merges them with the latest in high-speed processors and integrates these electronics with control devices and high-resolution video displays. Additionally, Coda Octopus Colmek has gathered a dedicated manufacturing staff who has developed shock absorbent, environmentally sealed housings and chassis to carry the most sophisticated of electronics and power supplies into some of the most rugged environments out there. Employing a well-balanced mix of creativity, advanced engineering and mathematics, we build the electronic systems you dream about and build them to take a beating.

Platforms
Coda Octopus Colmek engineers and software developers design systems based on VME, PC104 or PC platforms and build circuit boards for use on many transmission conduits including fiber-optics. We have designed and fabricated integrated electronic systems for use on board helicopters, submarines and surface ships. We have designed systems using Vx Works, Windows and Unix/Linux, and have manufactured circuit boards using TI DSP, Motorola Power PC and Zilog processors. Coda Octopus Colmek believes in the value of learning and continually educates staff members on new technologies, improving our knowledge base and skill sets. If your firm has a specialized need in developing a small to medium quantity electronic system, we have the knowledge and background to build it right the first time.

Installation
Coda Octopus Colmek works closely with the United States Navy and its primary contractors. This long-standing relationship has resulted in a commitment to delivering systems which meet the most stringent of installation requirements. Our ability to build electronic systems which perform in rugged environments has been paramount in our success. Not only do our systems stand up to the test of time, but Coda Octopus Colmek has a proud history of installing systems which work right the first time. Customer satisfaction is the reason we are here today. We are committed to all our customers from the US Navy to the smallest of firms. We pledge that when you buy a specialized system from us it will be properly installed, working as expected and you will know how to use it.

Simulators
Coda Octopus Colmek has been designing and building system level simulators since 1991 to aid in the integration and off line testing of various equipment. These simulators dramatically reduce the time required for system integration and provide a very simple, low-cost means to complete full system testing without the expense of dedicating real sonar and navigation assets to device testing.
