Jammer resistant drone designs spark search for countermeasures
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has driven another stage of evolution for drones and the counter measures to defend against them.
ASV to develop containerised marine lab
ASV Global is working with the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) to develop a containerised autonomous marine laboratory for use in developing countries, the company announced on 13 March.
The project is a part of the UK government-funded Commonwealth Marine Economies (CME) programme. It aims to support Commonwealth Small Island Developing States (SIDS) develop and sustain marine economies by ensuring the marine resources that belong to them are better understood and managed.
The programme includes the development of a containerised autonomous marine environmental laboratory (CAMEL). The lab, housed in a pair of 20ft containers will provide a complete autonomous survey and data collection solution.
CAMEL will include an ASV C-Worker 4 autonomous surface vessel (ASV) with a range of hydrographic, geophysical and oceanographic sensors. A built in mission control facility will enable users to operate the ASV and its sensors over a radio communications link as well as review and process the data gathered.
The laboratory will be utilised by CME delivery partners including the NOC, the UK Hydrographic Office and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science to map and monitor hydrographic, oceanographic and geophysical parameters as part of a range of high quality marine science data sets; and provide training as part of capacity building efforts.
The delivery of the CAMEL system will be followed by full training to the SIDS marine community by ASV Global and the NOC.
