DNV and the Defence sector
The defence sector is a major owner and user of complex materiel intended for use under extreme conditions. Initial materiel cost drives the need to extend materiel life in an environment of changing requirements. Cost effective management of assets and through life product support are essential for our safety and the safety of our soldiers.

Through the last three decades, DNV has assisted the Norwegian Armed Forces in implementing state-of-the-art solutions for acquisition and support of complex products. DNV offers Product life cycle management services to support decision processes. The foci of these services are to ensure that right analyses and reviews are made at the right time, and that information used in these processes is representative for the decision at stake.
