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.
New anode repair concept developed
SubC Partner has launched an advanced anode repair concept using Saab Seaeye’s Cougar XT electric ROV as a development platform, Saab Seaeye announced on 7 August.
The new concept aims to save up to 75% in costs compared to hydraulic delivered anode repair systems. It can be adapted for any size and shape of sacrificial anode, whether surface mounted or welded. The system offers a fast anode exchange procedure that avoids diver intervention and can be undertaken in extreme weather conditions.
The system comes as a skid, and is a resource targeted at offshore wind installations, oil and gas fields and a range of maritime facilities, including monopiles, jackets, ships and semi-submersibles.
The Cougar’s power and manoeuvrability supported SubC to create an anode replacement system capable of handling anodes weighing up to 40kg and in lengths up to 1100mm — and can be adapted for any size of anode.
