Twin Cummins QSC 8.3 Quantum engines, using JP8 fuel, power two Ultra Dynamics UltraJet 340 waterjets via ZF Marine ZF 305 transmission, will give the demonstrator a maximum speed of 39knots.
Riverine Demonstrator – key features. ‘A primary aspect of the Riverine/Coastal Warfare
programme will be its concept of operations, which embodies distributed and networked operations and brings C4ISR into coastal operations and up river,’ says David Stafford, vice president of Maritime Systems for Northrop Grumman’s Integrated Systems sector.
‘It will advance our ability to collaborate with
host nations and allies, and enhance our maritime domain awareness using geospatial and temporal information. This is imperative if we are to advance cooperation with littoral nations.’ He added: ‘ACB’s boats have earned a stellar reputation for performance on some of the most
difficult rivers and open waters in the world and will be an excellent partner to bring our sailors and marines out of the littorals and into the shallows.’ The industry team also plans to address an emerging international marketplace. In particular, it sees applications for anti-terror and maritime security operations in inshore and riverine environments.’
AUTOCHARGEAUTOMATED CYLINDER FILLING SYSTEMS For Diving Air and Fire-Fighting Breathing Air Cylinder Charging On-board Ship Imagine taking uncertainty out of an unfamiliar task, the end result of which may save lives. Filling breathing air cylinders is a time
consuming, manual process, not without risk and often with a variable outcome in terms of the mass of gas fi lled...Until now Track record – proven technology:
Applied industrial control and sensor technology – allows:
Repeatable, maximised & consistent mass of gas fi lled Cylinder fi lling times as fast as 90 seconds Temperature effects to be fully controlled Different pressures for different applications e.g.
300 bar for breathing air 200 bar for diving air
Multiple cylinder fi lling from one panel Cylinder fi lling from any residual pressure e.g. 0 to 380 bar (5,510 psi)
Control of breathing air quality to recognised standards Real time on-line monitoring option
Automation – means:
Ease of operation Risks inherent with manual control are removed Safe control of high pressure air Reduces the need for skilled operatives Reduced training requirement Less time is spent fi lling and re-fi lling cylinders More time to do other jobs while cylinders fi ll
