NorSol Boldyrev — Hydroacoustic Navigation Systems
Industrialization & product lifecycle

Taking navigation equipment to market.
From Type Approval to field service.

NorSol combines advanced marine navigation design work with hands-on experience in Type Approval, manufacturing, product launch and in-service support.

Industrialization experience

What it takes to bring a product to market.

Marine navigation equipment requires more than functional electronics and software. It must complete the applicable tests, be documented for repeat production and remain supportable after installation.

NorSol can contribute technical leadership and practical engineering work at each stage, according to the needs of the manufacturing partner.

Hands-on product experienceDesign, approval, production and service.

Leonid Boldyrev has personally carried out hardware and software development, IMO-related approval work, production planning and documentation, equipment assembly, customer support and field service.

This experience is directly relevant when a manufacturer takes a developed design into production and long-term service.
