Rohde & Schwarz Emirates will equip the ships with NAVICS, an integrated, IP-based and fail-safe naval communications system that supports interoperability within the Gulf Cooperation Council. NAVICS will complement the existing external Line-of-Sight (VHF/UHF) and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (HF) communication solutions. In addition to external communication, NAVICS also ensures internal communication on board and guarantees a multi-level security architecture that enables secure, trustworthy and tamper-proof communication. This means that third parties cannot interfere with the exchange of information. "We are very proud to have been selected by this Gulf Navy," explains Ernest Joseph Yasso, Vice President Military and Government Solutions, Rohde...

The author's experiences include commanding a nuclear-powered submarine, serving as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Seventh Fleet and in procurement at the Pentagon, all of which have been passed on following his active...

The following article provides an overview of the applicable Bundeswehr regulations and their equivalence and derivation from civilian laws and legal norms, which unanimously pursue the common goal of ensuring the day-to-day safe handling of naval vehicles designed primarily for military operations.

It had been missing since March 2020, the Sikorsky H 34 with the registration 80+59 at the entrance to the Nordholz naval air base. It came to Nordholz from MFG 5 in Kiel in 2012 to keep watch over all naval aircraft. Its restoration has now been completed and it has been back in its place in new splendour since 1 October. Thanks to the initiative of Chief Boatswain Adrian Weingart from the NH 90 technical squadron, the aircraft was made fit for the future last year by comrades and employees from the Bundeswehr and Airbus Helicopter. In addition to repairing the rotor blades and the rotor head, various holes had to be closed....

So there are still blank spots on the maps of the earth after all! At least on the charts of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) in the Pentagon, there must be previously unknown shallows.

The submerged submarine is said to have run aground on a previously unmeasured shoal. The damage to the outer hull of the boat was described as minor. There were also only minor injuries to the crew. This is the official version. As is well known...
