    Join iBULe Photonics discuss how they successively grew and upgraded the alternative to PZT ceramic: piezoelectric single crystal. This groundbreaking material can greatly improve the detection bandwidth and sensitivity of the SONAR system while achieving miniaturization of the SONAR sensor, allowing higher survivability for naval vessels but also providing strategic superiority in naval warfare.

    FarSounder have developed 3D forward looking sonars for a variety of demanding applications and industries. The breakthrough Argos sonar enables integration with machine interfaces to increase situational awareness. Argos detects in-water obstacles and processes a 3D bathymetric view, with a machine interface and a GUI for human in-the-loop view, assisting vessels navigate challenging waters from polar environments to shallow littorals.

    Stein Sohn has a long history in building analog measuring equipment for the military submarine industry. One of the mayor technical features of these measuring devices is the extreme high shock resistance in combination with small and fragile mechanical parts and components. These devices are the backup systems the crew has to rely on in the worst possible contitions.

    AI-based systems can monitor and optimize the performance of various submarine systems, such as propulsion, navigation, and communication. By doing so, they can identify and correct inefficiencies, reducing fuel consumption, and extending the life of critical components. How does the integration of high-end AI technology into submarine maintenance and repair processes has led to significant cost savings, improved safety and enhanced operational efficiency? What AI solutions can be used?

    Framework Robotics are a team of high-experienced engineers for ocean technology with a deep connection to the sea. Our aim is to radically simplify the survey and discovery of our oceans, because the more we understand the marine environment, the better we can protect it. And this idea of leaving the beaten path and finding new and better ways to ensure a sustainable use of marine resources is what strongly drives us every day.
