RH Marine and Naval Group partnership moves Dutch submarine programme forward
The addition of Dutch company RH Marine to the programme aligns with the country’s aim of enhancing its sovereign submarine strategy.
V-Step’s maritime simulators and training applications will be available in the Philippines market under a new strategic alliance with Poseidon Asia.
Poseidon Asia is the local office of Poseidon Simulation, which is part of the Poseidon Group with head office in the Lofoten Islands in Norway. The company specialises in the development of user-friendly and cost-effective PC-based maritime instrument simulators.
Under this agreement, V-Step’s NAUTIS maritime simulator solutions and virtual training software will be marketed to customers in the Philippines' maritime education and training sector, including maritime institutions, maritime training centres, and local ship management and crew manning companies.
NAUTIS provides simulator solutions and virtual training software for both civilian and naval military applications. Its DNV-certified simulators allow training in compliance with all known design criteria, class, and IMO requirements.
An official NAUTIS simulator demonstration centre will be opened in Manila to complement Poseidon Asia’s existing showroom and laboratory in Makati.
The addition of Dutch company RH Marine to the programme aligns with the country’s aim of enhancing its sovereign submarine strategy.
The USCG will use part of this funding to acquire SkyDio X10D short-range uncrewed aircraft systems, VideoRay Defender remotely operated vehicles and Qinetiq Squad Packable Utility and mini-SPUR robots.
Underwater is emerging as the global geopolitical domain, a crossroads between new needs and technological acceleration. While 80% of the sea floor and 98% of the abyssal seabed remain unexplored (Mars' and Jupiter's surfaces are better known than our oceans), human well-being relies on underwater assets and resources.
Raytheon’s Advanced Electronic Warfare (ADVEW) prototype, which is designed to be integrated into the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, has completed its latest review, furthering progress towards the aircraft’s modernisation plans.
The LCC-19 amphibious command vessel is currently the US Navy’s oldest deployed in-service asset, having been in operation for nearly 55 years.
The upgrade of the MK 46 Mod 5A anti-submarine rounds to the MK 54 model will enable the Canadian Armed Forces to maintain the torpedoes in service for the next 25 years.
