150 years of Flensburger Schiffbaugesellschaft: birthday on the fjord The times that lie behind FSG were often characterised by pessimism. The last few years were characterised by a mood of crisis and the traditional shipyard was on the brink of collapse on several occasions.

The Israeli company from Tel Aviv presented the autonomous "Ninox" to the public at Undersea Defence Technology in Rotterdam. It is actually just a folded quadcopter with a camera and data transmission module that is ejected as a can from a submerged submarine, shot out of the vertical container after breaking through the water surface, unfolds at a safe height and starts its mission supported by intelligent programme control....
