Danish Navy performs maritime surveillance tasks with Schiebel Camcopter S-100 RPAS The Royal Danish Navy (RDN) uses the Schiebel CAMCOPTER® S-100 for maritime surveillance. The RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) service is provided by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). The CAMCOPTER® S-100 is based in Denmark's northernmost town of Skagen and supports the RDN and other national authorities in carrying out various maritime surveillance tasks, including the detection, verification and provision of information on potential oil spills and discharges at sea. All data collected during the flights is shared live via EMSA's RPAS data centre, so that users can see all the information they...

90 metre ship Zhu Hai Yun: Launch of an autonomous robot carrier in China

90 metre ship Zhu Hai Yun: Launch of an autonomous robot carrier in China

Gepostet von | 6 Jun 2022 | , , , , | 0

The ship actually looks more like an oligarch yacht with a somewhat unconventional East Asian design: in mid-May, the South China Morning Post reported eloquently on the launch of an almost 90 metre long ship named "Zhu Hai Yun" at the CSSC Huangpu Wenchong shipyard in Guangzhou in the hinterland of Hong Kong. However, it is not the spectacular design - it is the technical equipment and the equipment payload that make people sit up and take notice. As an autonomous platform with a large number of unmanned sensor carriers, the ship is intended to create a 3D image of a 100-kilometre disc of the sea surface, 4 kilometres upwards and...

Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium sign offshore wind pact Government representatives from the North Sea countries met in the Danish town of Esbjerg on 18 May to sign a cooperation agreement on the development of offshore wind energy and green hydrogen. Their target is at least 65 GW by 2030 and 150 GW by 2050. The reliable winds, shallow waters and proximity to industrial centres that consume a lot of electricity make the North Sea an ideal location for the construction of offshore wind farms. "Today's agreement between the energy ministers is an important milestone in cross-border cooperation. It is the basis for the first real European power plants,...

Over the next 11 days, Australia, in co-operation with the United States and the United Kingdom, will conduct joint exercises at sea and test the latest autonomous warfare technologies at its naval school HMAS Creswell. The exercise, led by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), will test and evaluate unmanned, robotic and autonomous systems in Jervis Bay, the nearby Eastern Australian Training Area and in the sky. Exercise Autonomous Warrior 2022 (AW22) is the setting for a simulated next-generation naval battlefield. The exercise will involve around 300 personnel from 40 organisations from the three countries mentioned above, and will test cutting-edge technologies to...
