D2 Hybrid Ocean CTD Dives into Oceanographic World Interview

In this interview with Marine Technology Reporter I go over the history of D-2 Incorporated in the Oceanography field. I discuss how D-2 went from certifying jet fuel to measuring the bottom of the Ocean with CTD sensors. I went over how the Hybrid CTD was developed in a SBIR program for the US Navy to put CTD’s on UUV’s, AUV’s for the Arctic Environment.  We now have a full line of CTD technology that utilizes our hybrid cell, which has the advantages of both inductive and closed field cells but none of the disadvantages. This allows us to offer closed field precision with free flowing seawater. These Hybrid CTD’s can be built into OEM apparatus and they can be built into extremely low power versions. We had on display an aluminum version of the Hybrid CTD which can measure down to 3000 meters. The Titanium builds we offer can reach depths of 11,500 meters. The D2 Hybrid Ocean CTD sensor also has the advantage of quick delivery times, and fast calibration turnarounds. These sensors are being delivered currently in 4-8 weeks, and calibrations are under 2 weeks. You can view the D2 Hybrid Ocean CTD here: https://www.d-2.com/hybrid-ctd-ocean/

The Ocean CT sensor was also on display. This small, extremely lightweight, and very low power salinity temperature sensor as become increasingly popular. The Ocean CT being a low cost easy to integrate solution for measuring ocean salinity and temperature down to 500 meters. These are great for multiple platform types and due to their low cost and quick delivery times have become an increasingly popular option.
