Cochran Computers “Authorized for Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Operations” July 13, 2006

I saw this announcement today that the US Navy have authorised two computers from the Cochran range suitable for use in their diving operations. Although they look a little bland and somewhat ugly for consumer use, they have been field tested by the US Navy so I guess they can stand up to quite a bit of abuse. This from the press release;

Cochran Undersea Technology revealed today that dive computers designed and manufactured by Cochran have been added to the US Navy’s ANU (Authorized for Navy Use) equipment list. The Cochran Navy Dive Computers, NSW II and NSW III, received the “Authorized for Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Operations” ratings after extensive laboratory and years of field testing by the US Navy.

Company President Mike Cochran said: “We’re all very proud of our in-house Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams, and congratulate them on achieving this significant authorization from the most powerful NAVY in the world!” Cochran went on to add, “We think it’s great that the team who won this recognition consists of the same people who are responsible for our sport and commercial dive computers and instruments. We want our customers to know that the same care, quality, and rugged dependability we build into our NAVY models also go into all of our other models.”
