KATFISH Towed Sonar find niche in Defense, Offshore Energy
of offshore wind energy over the next decade and beyond will drive significant opportunities as the seabed and sub-seabed has to be mapped and imaged in high resolution before, during and after the construction of these subsea infrastructure projects. Platforms and sensors from Kraken will provide key technologies to help decision makers lower risk and build and maintain offshore wind farms economically.Kraken currently operates a KATFISH system out of Halifax, Canada, deployed on the R/V Ocean Seeker high-speed catamaran for demonstrations, engineering tests and evaluations, and near shore surveys. We
NOC: Advancing Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
, some of them have extended energy bays, some of them have ADCPs and so on. We've got quite a lot of stuff.Photo courtesy NOCAnd then, of course, you have the world-famous AUV Boaty McBoatface?Yes, Boaty McBoatface is the Autosub long range vehicle.So what is NOC working on now? What are the key technologies, enablers, and drivers that will help make autonomous vessels even more integral to your operations?Weirdly, everything’s a software problem now. So we are building the control systems, which sit in the vehicle, we're using something called a robot operating system as our primary platform

Subsea Minehunter: RE2 nabs $9.5m Development Deal from ONR
;s Defender remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The RE2 Sapien Sea Class arms, which were originally designed and developed for the ONR, feature a compact, strong, electromechanical design with human-like dexterity (7-function per arm) that is neutrally buoyant. The fusion of these key technologies provides superior strength and precision while manipulating neutralization devices
General Atomics Wins Contract for LDUUV Motor and ESS
of GA-EMS. “Over the course of the last two years, the motor has undergone lab testing, and power system has completed underwater testing. Both systems have performed successfully, demonstrating capabilities to both power and propel underwater vehicles. Together, the systems are proving to be key technologies to provide the combined power, energy density, and improved vehicle performance necessary to help meet the objectives.”Development and testing of both motor and power systems continues in order to optimize performance. An LDUUV with the integrated motor and power propulsion system eventually
ADCPs & DVLs: Recent Tech Developments
DVL on the Fusion vehicle (Photo Courtesy Nortek)As the ADCP/DVL ecosystem has matured there have been many innovations. Recently, leading manufacturers have brought creative developments to the field. Teledyne RDI, the successor to the first company to commercialize the ADCP, continues to deliver key technologies, especially DVLs, for undersea vehicles. One of the most common unmanned undersea vehicles in service is Hydroid’s REMUS. This vehicle typically employs Teledyne’s compact DVL in the original configuration of four transducers mounted in a ring. The DVLs in these vehicles augment
SubConn Connectivity Solution for High Power Submersible Pumps
the event of pump service or replacement, it is essential for the safe operation of the tunnel that the downtime is minimized. The 4-pin custom connector selected allows the operator to quickly connect and disconnect the pumps and is thus a critical part of the tunnel safety infrastructure. Key technologies of the connectivity range of MacArtney include wet- and dry-mateable power, signal and optical connector solutions, terminations and penetrators under the renowned SubConn, TrustLink and OptoLink brands, GreenLink termination solutions and subsea cables from leading manufacturers. In addition
AquaPix MINSAS integrated onboard ATLAS SeaCat AUV
. The company's outstanding products include mine-countermeasure systems, sonar systems, command and control systems, and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVS). Atlas has already sold over 3,000 UUVs to customers worldwide. Their dedication to underwater drone activities entails a deep knowledge of key technologies such as hydrodynamics, navigation, guidance and control, communication, sensors, software and system management that they have gained since the 1970s. We are very pleased to equip their SeaCat AUV with our AquaPix system and look forward to continued growth." AquaPix is an industry leading
