DLRG digitises its company radio

DLRG digitises its company radio

The digitalisation of communication does not stop at civilian rescue services. For the DLRG, this means replacing 7000 radios. Communication during operations has always played a central role at the German Life Saving Association (DLRG). As early as the 1980s, the DLRG relied on analogue company radio in order to be able to communicate reliably and comprehensively in water rescue services, for example. Over the years, the network of analogue radios grew. With increasing technological and regulatory requirements, it became clear that this technology was reaching its limits.

The Makassar class was originally designed for the Indonesian navy. However, other buyers were quickly found for this cost-effective, successful model. In recent years, a class of medium-sized amphibious landing ships of the Landing Platform Dock (LPD, amphibious transport dock) type has achieved supremacy in this ship segment in South East Asia and South America almost unnoticed by Western analysts. This is the Makassar class developed in South Korea, of which twelve units have now been completed and three more are being planned and built.

Quantum sensor technology in the maritime environment

Quantum sensor technology in the maritime environment

Gepostet von | 26 Jun 2025 | , , | 0

Alongside artificial intelligence, quantum technology is seen as one of the major technological fields of the future. Quantum sensor technology is an important area of this. What principles and technologies are behind the term and what is quantum sensor technology already doing today in maritime applications? Basically, the term quantum sensor technology serves to differentiate it from conventional sensors and describes any sensor that utilises quantum physics principles. Magnetometry, the measurement of magnetic fields, is already an advanced area of quantum sensor technology. Two technologies dominate here: superconducting quantum interference devices (squids) and optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs), each with individual characteristics that need to be considered for a possible application.

More and more unmanned surface vehicles are being developed for naval use. A British company promises particular flexibility with its new model. The British Kraken Technology Group presented the K3 Scout unmanned surface vehicle (USV) during Special Operations Forces Week in Florida at the beginning of May. The state-of-the-art vehicle is characterised by a slim, hydrodynamic design that enables particularly high efficiency and manoeuvrability in the water. The double-stepped hull reduces water resistance and increases positional stability, especially when accessing marineforum digital+ Are you already a registered user?

Change of course for the Zumwalt destroyers

Change of course for the Zumwalt destroyers

Despite their high level of technical development, the futuristic-looking ZUMWALT-class destroyers have been criticised in the American media for years. Now the U.S. Navy is daring to make a new start. The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union heralded a period of unchallenged dominance on the world's oceans for the U.S. Navy, in which conflicts with equal opponents on the high seas seemed rather unlikely. The tasks of the naval forces in fire support of forces operating ashore, on the other hand, remained unchanged, Access marineforum digital+ Are you already a registered user?
