Marine MArs Maintenance Channel (M³C) - what sounds cryptic at first, reveals itself at second glance as an outstanding tool for remote maintenance - for the navy, from the naval arsenal. In short, you could compare it to telemedicine, but M³C can do much more. But let's start with the beginnings. Since 2010, a small group of engineers and technicians from the Naval Arsenal (MArs) have been working with industry to develop a way of providing the maintenance services of the MArs to floating units, even in remote areas of operation, with as little delay as possible by means of remote support and remote access. The simple handling and operability of the...

A successful German-Italian partnership began with the construction of the submarine class 212A. Portugal is now also benefiting from the advantages of the trinational partnership. 25 years ago, on 22 April 1996, Germany and Italy signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to mark the beginning of a far-reaching partnership in the field of submarines. The aim was not only to build the pioneering U 212A class submarines as successors to the German 206 class and the Italian Sauro class. Even at this time, the joint vision extended far into the future. Following the procurement phase, the MoU was extended on 2 September 2002 by a supplement...

The German Navy's new multi-purpose combat ship class 180 (MKS 180) officially becomes the frigate class 126 (F 126). This rightly spreads a feeling of "Now it's really starting" everywhere. Manoeuvre whistle. All hands cast off and in. Certainly a moving moment for anyone who goes to sea or has gone to sea. I, former commander of the frigate Hessen and authorised representative of the Inspector of the Navy (BV Marine) in the Class 126 frigate project for ten years, feel the same way - a project name that you have to get used to after such a long time. Basic considerations for a medium surface combat unit...

Am 18. März gelang es Bergungskräften der US Navy, einen abgestürzten Hubschrauber vom Typ MH-60S Seahawk aus einer Tiefe von 5869 Metern zu heben. Dies ist ein neuer Tiefenrekord für die Bergung eines Flugzeugs. Der zur 7. US-Flotte gehörende Helikopter war im Januar 2020 in den Gewässern vor Okinawa abgestürzt, die dreiköpfige Besatzung konnte sich vor dem Untergang des Flugzeugs retten. [ds_preview] Die Hebung des Hubschraubers erfolgte durch die Bergungsgruppe des Navy Sea Systems Command. Spezialisten des SUPSALV (Supervisor of Salvage and Diving) hatten den Hubschrauber bereits im Frühjahr 2020 mit Hilfe von Seitensichtsonar geortet und den umliegenden Meeresboden...

Science fiction weapons are just around the corner

Science fiction weapons are just around the corner

The development of high-energy laser weapons has made enormous progress in recent years. The final step still lacks, above all, the consistent will to introduce them. The increasing complexity of modern conflict scenarios, combined with new technologies, has resulted in a large number of new weapon systems in recent years. Multi-layered trends and technological innovations have emerged, particularly in the field of weapons, which are increasingly rendering the development of established defence systems obsolete. Hypersonic missiles and hypersonic aircraft as well as small and micro aircraft (small Unmanned Aircraft System, sUAS) will expand the known threat spectrum in air defence in the future. New technologies are always accompanied by...
