A German-Finnish co-operation lays the foundation for autonomous maritime operations of the future. Atlas Elektronik and Marine Alutech used the opening of a new Marine Alutech shipyard in Lappvik, Finland, to present an autonomous workboat. In a joint research and development project, Atlas' Jagos (Joint Autonomous Guidance and Operating System) autonomous core was integrated into the Aurora surface vessel. The Alutech Watercat 1000 Patrol vehicle now has the necessary capabilities for highly automated operation. Jagos is a further development of the control software of the SeaCat unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) and enables its highly automated control both underwater and on the surface.

Marine Alutech puts its products in the right light with Finnish lightness. The shipyard's products are used by authorities in many countries around the world. When you are invited to Finland in May to be presented with maritime technology, as editor-in-chief of marineforum you are naturally immediately electrified: Who invites you to the tranquil town of Lappvik in the south-west of the new NATO partner? Marine Alutech, of course, known for its fast boats in the service of the authorities. You wouldn't expect the size of the Hamburg trade fair for maritime technology SMM or the density of experts at the military-oriented Undersea Defence Technology (UDT), but somehow it seemed as if...

Auf den ersten Blick scheint der russisch-ukrainische Krieg rein ausschließlich landseitig geführter Konflikt zu sein. Doch die epochale Auseinandersetzung besitzt auch eine maritime Dimension. Als am 24. Februar 2022 der russische Präsident Putin den „Großen“ oder Staatenkrieg nach Europa zurückbrachte, begann eine neue Epoche nicht nur der europäischen Geschichte. Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz´ Wort von der Zeitenwende in der Weltpolitik beschreibt dies in der Tat sehr treffend, auch wenn diese in manchen Köpfen noch immer nicht wirklich angekommen scheint. Bislang ist kein Ende des Ukrainekriegs absehbar, und daher gilt: Wir wissen nicht, wie es weitergeht und wie das Ende aussieht.[ds_preview]...

Maritime special forces require powerful and innovative equipment to operate efficiently. The industry offers a wide range of innovations. Combat swimmers are special forces that are specially trained to fight in and under water or move over water to fulfil missions on land. They can be easily distinguished from pioneer divers and amphibious special forces such as the German Special Forces Command (KSK) or the American Delta Force, as they are deployed on boats. There are actually only a few new trends and solutions to report when it comes to their personal equipment, although these have been constantly developed further. Rebreathers, which are among the most important items of equipment...

The publication of the Marine 2035+ target picture provides an opportunity to think more intensively about future German air defence frigates. Active defence against ballistic missiles will play a central role. After the planned end of the service life of frigates 124 between 2034 and 2036, the future frigate class 127 will contribute to the defence against ballistic missiles. In contrast to class 124, this will be achieved not only through its sensors, but in particular through its armament. In addition to BMD, it will also be capable of defence against hypersonic threats. The future class would therefore be a globally deployable weapon system for protecting a task force or theatre of operations against the entire spectrum of hypersonic threats.
