ECA Group has developed a 1000m depth rated core sampler recovery system for light duty ROVs, the company announced on 6 June.
The system, mounted on a compact skid, features a lightweight five function electric manipulator arm and a six compartment telescopic receiver protected under a polycarbonate cover, and buoyancy blocks.
The ROV is equipped with a seven function telemetry unit which, beyond the arm control, has two spare functions dedicated to the compartment drawer extension and withdrawal movements.
The solution has been designed to be used by research institutes and underwater inspection service providers to perform operations in the field of oceanography, hydrography and aquaculture. The system offers support to carry out tasks such as sediment recovery, coral sampling, flora and fauna sample recovery and small objects recovery.
As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
The US Army has intentions to develop light, medium and heavy variants of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) as part of the branche’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle family.
DroneSentry-X, a cross-vehicle compatible, automated 360° C-UAS detect and defeat device, can offer 360° awareness and protection using integrated sensors. According to its manufacturer, it is suitable for mobile operations, on-site surveillance and on-the-move missions.
Funded by the country’s former president, the new C-UAS systems will be sent to the frontline where they have already been tested against Russian invading forces.
