Phoenix Introduces Novasub Commercial Diving System
modern commercial diving operations with Novasub, a Phoenix diving system designed around modularity, digital integration, and operational flexibility. Unlike traditional commercial diving systems built around large analog control panels, Novasub delivers configurable components that integrate communications, monitoring, video, and air control into a cohesive, data-driven ecosystem.At the core of the system is the Novasub Diver Monitoring System (DMS), a digital platform that logs real-time dive data for multiple divers and provides browser-based access without proprietary software.

U.S. Coast Guard Launches RAPTOR to Identify Maritime Defense Solutions
service’s Force Design 2028 initiative, the launch of CG-RAPTOR enables the Service to experiment with streamlined business processes and applications prior to making larger enterprise investments.In the past 150 days, CG-RAPTOR has debuted unmanned systems, personnel management tools, secure communications platforms and real-time readiness tracking.This Friday in San Diego, CG-RAPTOR will host an exclusive demonstration for Coast Guard personnel and select invitees, showcasing the latest advancements in sensor data and video feed integration across a unified operational picture.This event will
Subsea Cable Risk a Mix of Bathymetry and Geopolitics
;As geopolitical tensions rise, your appetite for risk also goes up.”The aim of the saboteur is also important. In a time of medium tension between states, the aim would be to create uncertainty and frustration in a target state. In wartime, sabotage would be more targeted towards disrupting communications.“The results reveal patterned heterogeneity rather than uniform vulnerability: landing stations matter, but not equally; some cable systems are systematically riskier than others; legal maritime zones do not reliably predict exposure; and gray-zone phases between peace and war emerge as
OPT to Deploy Multiple PowerBuoys for US Coast Guard
demonstration aimed at providing persistent maritime domain awareness off the coast of San Diego, California. Near-term delivery will include four maritime surveillance-equipped PowerBuoy platforms.The buoys will be integrated into the Department of Homeland Security’s chosen command, control, communications, computers, combat systems and intelligence environment and deployed alongside surveillance towers operated by defense technology company Anduril, forming an integrated sensing architecture.Data collected by the buoy-based sensors and Anduril’s tower-based sensors will feed into Anduril&rsquo
Submarine Group Two Commander Visits NUWC Newport
Executive Steering Group — a group focused on the development and delivery of undersea robotic autonomous systems (URAS) capabilities to the fleet. He toured the command to gain a deeper understanding of NUWC’s role in system development, fielding and associated C4I (command, control, communications, computers and intelligence) capabilities.Smith’s time spent with Division Newport employees at the command’s holiday party set the tone for the visit. Standing among tables of desserts and surrounded by civilian engineers, scientists, technicians, U.S. Sailors and support staff,
Latvia Police Board Vessel After Baltic Sea Cable Breach
, neither the vessel nor its crew is detained, they are cooperating with the police, and active work continues to clarify the circumstances," Latvian police said on X.Latvia's Prime Minister Evika Silina said the damage had occurred near Liepaja."The incident has not affected Latvian communications users," she wrote on X.The latest incident is made public five days after Finnish police seized a cargo vessel en route from Russia to Israel on suspicion of sabotaging an undersea telecoms cable running from Helsinki across the Gulf of Finland to Estonia.(Reuters - Reporting by Andrius
The Impact of AI Traffic on Subsea Fiber Networks
, which was then handed off to another telegraph operator to re-transmit over terrestrial copper cables to New York City or London. Fast-forward 150 years to the mid-2010’s, and trans-oceanic cables evolved from copper to fiber. The dominant operators of subsea networks were international communications service providers (CSPs) and bandwidth wholesalers, who led the deployment of new cables, or participated in cable consortium for cost-sharing of these expensive infrastructure projects. While data rates had increased tremendously since 1866, from approximately 8 words per minute to 12Tb/s
Google to Build Subsea Cables for PNG
Papua New Guinea’s Acting Minister for Information and Communications Technology, Hon. Peter Tsiamalili Jr., has officially announced the $120 million Pukpuk Connectivity Initiative that will deliver three new submarine cable systems to Papua New Guinea, strengthening the nation’s digital backbone with high-capacity connectivity to Northern Papua New Guinea, Southern Papua New Guinea and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.The project is being entirely funded through Australia’s commitments under the Pukpuk Treaty, a mutual defence treaty which recognises that an armed attack on
Kraken Robotics, TKMS ATLAS UK Demonstrate KATFISH USV Launch and Recovery System
was demonstrated off the coast of Portland, UK, November 18-19, for NATO navies. Attendees witnessed the ARCIMS USV autonomously navigate and plan missions with the KATFISH towed system collecting high resolution SAS and bathymetric surveys in very shallow water. Data was live streamed via satellite communications to the command center on shore, enabling real-time classification of contacts by operators.Kraken’s KATFISH being deployed by the USV-LARS system. © Kraken RoboticsKraken’s KATFISH collects high resolution synthetic aperture sonar data at up to a 200-meter range per side at a
