Bluefin Robotics, a leading provider of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and related subsea technologies, announced that as of this month the company's in-house battery group has produced over 1,000,000 watt-hours of subsea batteries. The announcement comes on the heels of the company receiving several orders for AUVs, vehicle power upgrades, and customized power systems for the commercial oil and gas market.
You've heard the old saying — there are plenty of fish in the sea — however, this may not always be the case. The inability of wild fisheries to supply the burgeoning demand for healthful and protein-rich seafood has given rise to a robust aquaculture industry that has helped alleviate the threat of overfishing in the world's oceans.
If a nuclear device were to unexpectedly detonate anywhere on Earth, the ensuing effort to find out who made the weapon probably would be led by aircraft rapidly collecting airborne radioactive particles for analysis.
Two robots equipped with instruments designed to "listen" for the calls of baleen whales detected nine endangered North Atlantic right whales in the Gulf of Maine last month. The robots reported the detections to shore-based researchers within hours of hearing the whales (i.e., in real time), demonstrating a new and powerful tool for managing interactions between whales and human activities.
The sun ejects a continuous flow of electrically charged particles and magnetic fields in the form of the solar wind -- and this wind is hotter than it should be. A new study of data obtained by European Space Agency's Cluster spacecraft may help explain the mystery.
Contract manufacturer PartnerTech AB and CybAero AB, a company developing and manufacturing autonomous unmanned helicopters, have signed a framework agreement covering production and assembly of products and systems for CybAero AB.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is building a company-owned unmanned aircraft for use as a development and demonstration platform for at-sea surveillance under the U.S. Navy's MQ-4C Triton program.
Northrop Grumman Corporation, under contract to the U.S. Navy, has selected Telephonics Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffon Corporation, Long Island, N.Y., to provide a multimode maritime radar system for the Navy's MQ-8B Fire Scout vertical takeoff and landing tactical unmanned aerial vehicle.
UAVs represent a very active market within the defense industry, and recent trends are not likely to change that trajectory. The nomination of John Brennan to serve as head of the CIA represents – according to pundits – a reaffirmation of America's policy of using unmanned aerial vehicles as a cornerstone of its force projection and defense capabilities. Looming sequester cuts in military budgets do not seem likely to impact this burgeoning sector, and the overall market for UAVs and related products and services stands to grow significantly over the next decade.
Iran has captured more US drones than it's admitted in the past, a senior military official stated on 3 January 2013.
