This invention provides a support device that can be attached to and detached from an unmanned submarine and can be attached with a photographing camera and an illumination light. The support device (100) of the present embodiment includes a first frame (10U, 10H) to which an unmanned submarine is attached/detached, a second frame (10B, 10V) formed corresponding to the first frame, and a support material (20) arranged between the first frame and the second frame so as to connect the first frame and the second frame and formed of a buoyancy material having a specific density of less than 1. Further, the support device includes a lighting mount (30) for an illumination light attached to the support material and a shooting mount (40) for a photographing camera attached to the support material or the second frame.

A distributed acoustic anti-unmanned boat intelligence system (DAAUBS) for detecting unmanned boats (UB) approaching protected sites includes a plurality of airborne defense agents (ADAs) and a base station. Each ADA is equipped with air balloons, tethers, buoys, a directional microphone array, a first computing device, and a transceiver. The first computing device causes at least processor to determine information regarding each approaching UB. The base station includes a control center configured with a wideband communications link configured to communicate with the transceiver of each ADA. The DAAUBS control center includes a second computing device performing an intelligence method. The second processor receives and aggregates the data of each approaching UB and performs adaptive noise cancellation to remove environmental background noise. The second processor uses a deep learning classifier to classify at least one of a type and size of the UB.

A vessel and a method for installation of a pile adapted to support an offshore wind turbine are described. The method includes a) suspending the pile from a hoisting cable in a substantially vertical orientation; b) providing a lower end of the pile in a pile holding system limiting horizontal motion of a pile portion held by the pile holding system; and c) lowering the pile with the pile being held by the pile holding system. The lowering includes at least lowering the pile through a splash zone of a body of water, and during step c), two tugger lines are directly or indirectly connected to the pile at a location between the pile holding system and the hoisting cable, said tugger lines being operated to damp motion of the pile in two respective horizontal directions.

A watercraft for breeding aquatic organisms, including an aquaculture facility and a device for feeding water into the aquaculture facility so that water intended to be fed into the aquaculture facility can escape from a body of water in which the watercraft is floating. A feed opening for receiving the water from the body of water is open in the longitudinal direction of the watercraft and/or is arranged below a water line of the watercraft. The feed opening is arranged on the hull of the watercraft, preferably on the bow. The watercraft includes a device for letting out water from the aquaculture facility to the body of water. An outlet opening of the outlet device is open in the longitudinal direction of the watercraft and/or is arranged below the water line of the watercraft. The outlet opening preferably being arranged on the hull of the watercraft, on the bow thereof.

The present invention includes systems and methods for a continuous-wave (CW) radar system for detecting, geolocating, identifying, discriminating between, and mapping ferrous and non-ferrous metals in brackish and saltwater environments. The CW radar system generates multiple extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves simultaneously and uses said waves to detect, locate, and classify objects of interest. These objects include all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as changing material boundary layers (e.g., soil to water, sand to mud, rock to organic materials, water to air, etc.). The CW radar system is operable to detect objects of interest in near real time.

STAXLINK™ is a duct system and method for conveying exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe of an emissions source to a purification unit during an Emissions Reduction as a Service (ERaaS) operation. Example emissions sources include oceangoing vessels and buildings structures. The duct is temporarily installed onto the emissions source without a crane. The duct is supported by the emissions source itself for the duration of the ERaaS operation.
