USS Delaware Pioneers UUV Deployment The Virginia-class Block III fast-attack submarine, USS Delaware (SSN-791), continues to set new benchmarks in naval warfare technology. Commissioned in April 2022 under unique circumstances, #SSN-791 was the first U.S. Naval warship to be commissioned while submerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, #USS Delaware will deploy a torpedo-tube launch-and-recovery (TTL&R) uncrewed underwater vehicle (#UUV) in the European theater, marking the first operational use of this capability. This milestone will see the REMUS 600, known as the "Yellow Moray," enhance mission capabilities, including the defense of critical undersea infrastructure. The REMUS 600, capable of semi-autonomous operation and deep-sea missions, signifies a leap in seabed warfare. With the ability to defend and potentially counter threats to #undersea cables and pipelines, this technology is set to redefine the #strategic landscape of underwater operations. Kudos to the innovative minds and skilled hands driving this mission forward. The silent service is making waves—literally and figuratively! #NavyInnovation #UnderwaterWarfare #USSDelaware #DefenseTech #SeabedWarfare #UUV #MilitaryInnovation https://lnkd.in/d9BuxChD

Power at Sea: The Future of Naval Aviation This 3D concept of an advanced aircraft carrier represents the cutting edge of naval warfare and air defense. Designed to accommodate a variety of aircraft, this carrier is a hub of strategic power projection, providing unmatched support for air operations over the sea. With its streamlined design and modern capabilities, it underscores the importance of air-sea integration in modern military strategies. From fighter jets ready for takeoff to the central command tower overseeing operations, every element is engineered for efficiency and dominance. This vessel stands as a testament to the future of naval technology, ensuring operational superiority across vast oceans and remote regions. Whether it’s defense or deterrence, this model showcases what modern naval forces require for global reach. #3DModeling #NavalEngineering #AircraftCarrier #MilitaryInnovation #DefenseTechnology #MaritimeOperations

Naval forces are increasingly considering alternative fuels for their gensets, although it may not be their top priority. The use of alternative fuels is slowly gaining importance within the naval sector. Read more: https://buff.ly/47lxoZj #MarinerNews #ShippingNews #MaritimeNews #News #ShippingIndustry

A groundbreaking milestone for the U.S. Navy with Lockheed Martin: an unprecedented flight test has just been achieved with the simultaneous launch of four Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles (LRASM) 🚀🌊. This test underscores a significant leap in naval warfare capabilities. How do you think this will change the dynamics of naval defence? https://bit.ly/3xojwja #NavalInnovation #LRASM

This #SerdpEstcpWebinar will focus on research efforts to develop protective and environmentally friendly aircraft coatings for DoD ships and aircrafts. Speakers from U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) will discuss the use of organosilane polymers in topcoats and the development of aluminum-rich primers. https://bit.ly/4dB4nvt Protecting defense assets from deterioration by corrosion and wear is critical to maintaining readiness and safety, but many coatings systems have significant environmental effects. This webinar will cover alternatives that SERDP and ESTCP are funding to replace coatings that have environmental and health impacts.

👍 Recommended reading: A review paper "War at Sea: Burn Care Challenges—Past, Present and Future" by Dr. Matthew Tadlock's team. Throughout history, seafarers have been exposed to potential thermal injuries during naval warfare; however, injury prevention, including advances in personal protective equipment, has saved lives. Thankfully, #burn injuries have decreased over time, which has resulted in a significant clinical skills gap. This paper reviews the mechanisms of thermal injury during routine naval operations and naval warfare. Lessons learned from various modern maritime mass casualty incidents are emphasized. The review article concludes with recommendations to prepare modern navies for a future war at sea. 🔗 Check the full paper: https://lnkd.in/e_DrJhBJ

CAMRE continues to break down barriers of what is possible in expeditionary #advancedmanufacturing. Processes traditionally constrained to factories such as heat treatment are being pushed to the edge with the help of individuals like the Naval Postgraduate School’s doctoral candidate LCDR Zachary Vrtis, PE, under the supervision of Dr. Emre Gunduz. These actions are vital for the Defense Industrial Base and successfully completing battle damage repair at sea. Well done by the entire team in support of SALVEX with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)! #additivemanufacturing #irttw https://lnkd.in/ggBB8kbE

On July 21, 1946, the McDonnell FH Phantom made history by completing its first jet landing aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, following four successful takeoffs and landings near Norfolk, Virginia. At that time, the Franklin D. Roosevelt was the largest aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, allowing the Phantom to take off without catapult assistance. This milestone marked the beginning of the jet age for U.S. Naval Aviation, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities and paving the way for future carrier-based jet operations. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #pilots #ship #ships #naval #marines #maritime #vessel
