Eco Wave Power Tech for Israeli Navy
Wave energy technology company Eco Wave Power has entered into a collaboration agreement with the Israeli Navy, to examine the feasibility of installing the Eco Wave Power technology in the Navy's bases.Eco Wave Power will start the procurement and deployment of wave measuring systems to collect extended wave data, in one to three potential locations in the Navy bases, while the Navy will secure all permits for the deployment of the wave measuring equipment. "The Navy’s specialized diving team will install the measurement equipment in the territorial waters of the Navy’s bases.

power levels. Integration of the TRAPS-USV enables the Seagull USV to perform Anti-Submarine Warfare operations on-the-move, substantially extending its operative range and further enhancing its flexibility. The integration of the TRAPS-USV follows the recent conversion for operation, by the Israeli Navy, of Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) dipping sonar onboard the Seagull USV.TRAPS-USV is the compact and powerful low frequency towed sonar that was recently introduced by Geospectrum, the company’s Canadian wholly owned subsidiary.Photo: Elbit System

In a Sea Acceptance Test (SAT) performed by the Israeli Navy, a Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) dipping sonar was successfully converted for operation onboard the Seagull, Elbit Systems’ Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV).Operating a dipping sonar onboard a USV significantly increases the operational working time and substantially enhances that detection capabilities and the effectiveness of Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW).The Seagull autonomous multi-mission USV features switchable, modular mission payload suites and can perform, in addition to ASW, Mine Countermeasure missions (MCM)
Underwater Metal Detectors Help Police, Military
the salvage of a sunken ship in Panama harbor. Peruvian Navy diver Rafael Jimenez Fonseca says “Our team relies on JW Fishers Pulse 8X detector”. So do the US Navy’s Mobile Diving & Salvage Units, Underwater Construction Teams, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Units, SEALs, and the Israeli Navy dive teams. Navy dive teams aren’t the only ones using underwater metal detectors (UMD). The US Air Force Rescue Wing, the USAF Reserve Command’s premier combat search and rescue unit, is also employing these machines in their operations. The wing consists of over 1,500 airman
Israeli Navy installs advanced underwater AquaShield detection system
;100 percent impervious to all such attacks”, says a senior Israeli Naval officer in a press statement. “The chances of a diver infiltrating the system are zero. The system is proven and constitutes a sea barrier for Israel,” the naval officer explained. The Israeli Navy is currently installing the system along Israel's northern sea border, and has already installed it along the sea border with the Gaza Strip, Israel Hayom has learned. AquaShield is essentially a sonar system built to detect divers and provide protection for vital infrastructure located
