EviNS is a public event-driven framework for underwater acoustic sensor networks and positioning that can run on EvoLogics modem hardware or alongside DMACe emulation. Its routing documentation describes static and controlled-flooding relays, path discovery/relaying, acknowledgements, mobile ad-hoc nodes and star polling. The public command interface exposes network configuration and send/receive controls. EvoLogics also links ROS 1 and optional software-defined waveform tools. These provide an integrator’s networking/development route; they are not proof that every protocol or a third-party sensor driver ships enabled in every base modem.
Technical detail
Core features
Open event-driven EviNS framework with modem-hardware and emulator deployment.
Documented static, controlled-flooding and path-based relaying with acknowledgement options.
Mobile ad-hoc source/destination nodes and separately documented star polling.
Commands for send/receive, protocol selection, routing tables, neighbours, statistics and polling.
Official ROS 1 driver and optional user-defined-waveform SDM development tools.
DMACe offers virtual modem networks with propagation/collision/error/mobility simulation, as hosted VPN subscription or standalone Emulator Box.

Use & integration
Recorded applications
Developing and integrating networked underwater sensor applications.
Testing routing and application logic before acoustic hardware and field trials.
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
Public code and routing documentation, plus a configuration-specific published network case study. The routing overview dates to 2018; current shipping firmware/module support is a configuration question.
Commercial availability
EviNS source/documentation are publicly available. EvoLogics markets DMACe subscription and standalone options; modem options and integration support require confirmation.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
Reviewed connections
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
