MacArtney Introduces New TrustLink Data Solution

transmission across cable assemblies up to 10 meters, tested and qualified to operate at 600 bar. Designed for modern sensors, sonar platforms and real-time underwater operations, it preserves signal integrity throughout the connection for advanced systems in marine and offshore, ocean science and naval applications.Sensors, real‑time telemetry and high‑resolution imaging now generate far more data than earlier generations, placing greater demands on the subsea link that carries information into the wider setup. As applications grow in complexity, system manufacturers and users developing and integrating

, especially with autonomous assets, and achieve ultra-high-resolution mapping results with speed and precision they can trust. This is an exciting development the market has been calling out for,” said Jose Cordero, Product Manager at Kongsberg Discovery.The EM2042 BNS variant is designed for naval applications, supporting underwater domain awareness, infrastructure protection and rapid environmental assessments. Built for harsh conditions, the system combines high-resolution bathymetry with co-registered backscatter to support seabed modelling, change detection and water column target tracking.The

and win at sea.”“We’ve conducted several rounds of training in operations and maintenance for Thales and RAN operators,” said Rogers. “Our modular systems allow operators to replace components themselves which increases operational availability.”Advantages for naval applications of autonomous platforms and systems are many.  But deciding which systems to use, and how to share the capabilities between men and machines, can be daunting.  This is especially true in the area of naval mine warfare.  The more machines can do, while keeping Sailors safely out

DGA Taps iXblue for AUV Positioning & Monitoring

The French General Directorate of Armament for Technical Naval Applications (DGA Technique Navales – DGA/TN, formerly GESMA), an entity specialized in experimentation in the area of mine warfare, has selected iXblue's Gaps acoustic positioning system for its autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) positioning and monitoring applications."The choice of Gaps by the DGA/TN, which is the reference in France in the area of mine warfare, is a clear mark of the confidence placed in our underwater positioning technology," said Hubert Pelletier, Head of the Acoustics Division of iXblue. "Thi

MTR Speaks with Harlan Doliner Ahead of His OINA Panel

Attorney at Verrill Dana LLP, is an organizer and panel member of the “Frontiers of Technology Transfer Panel” at the upcoming Oceanology International North America 2017 in San Diego.   What do you consider to be the key challenges to technology transfer between i.e. naval applications, to marine science and ocean research applications?  From my perspective one of the biggest challenges is the tendency to “silo” or compartmentalize new technologies into existing applications or areas of endeavor. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center has set a wonderful example

Insulated Wire Expands Cable Capabilities

Insulated Wire (IW) announced the expansion of its capabilities to produce customized composite cables featuring low smoke/zero halogen polyurethane jackets. They have seen sales of these cables grow significantly – particularly in naval applications, both on submarine and surface vessels. IW’s composite cables provide a myriad of options. Components can include individually shielded and jacketed signal transmission cables, power cables, microwave cables and fiber optic. Depending on the application, cables can be optimized to address issues such as hydrostatic pressure, tensile loads

4,500 meters, depending on configuration. It can carry several different types of high performance survey sensors for synchronized and simultaneous operation. The HUGIN concept allows integration of alternative sensors for geophysical, search and inspection purposes, subject to customer demands. Naval applications include MCM, Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA)/Battlespace access, and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). Commercial applications include offshore oil and gas geophysical survey, inspection of pipelines and underwater engineering structures, environmental monitoring, hydrography
