A water vessel and base shielding device designed to protect water vessels and bases from sea skimming cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, projectiles, torpedos, and bombs. The device generates one or more walls of water, offering enhanced defense capabilities to safeguard water vessels and bases. In exemplary embodiments, pontoons, sponsons, or skids are integrated into the vessel for housing the shielding device and creating water walls. An integrated pump generates the necessary high-pressure water flow, enabling the water jets to reach the desired height based on the effective area of the water jets. Another embodiment includes use of explosives within the surroundings of a water vessel or a base. The explosives can be remotely activated via a remote-control unit to create water walls of varying heights and shapes, offering comprehensive protection against anti-ship missiles and projectiles. The water walls can enclose the ship, forming a protective dome around it.

The present disclosure describes articles that may be used in protective gear, including but not limited to body armor, helmets, shields, or barriers. These articles may include a polymeric material coated with nanoparticles, in a single layer or in multiple layers, which are treated to form a composite. The articles may further include a ceramic layer and/or a back-face layer. Such articles may be useful for protecting an object or wearer against projectiles.

The present disclosure relates to a shock absorbing arrangement suitable e.g. for ship installed structures comprising a rod, a resilient member arranged in connection to the rod, a structure element and a locking member arranged in connection to the structure element. The locking member is arranged to detachably lock the structure element at a resting position at the rod and the locking member, or the structure element, is supported by the resilient member. The resilient member is configured such that a spring force of the resilient member acts to maintain the structure element essentially at the resting position at the rod. The locking member is further configured to release the structure element from the resting position when being exposed to a force exceeding a predetermined holding force, whereupon the resilient member acts to reinstate the locking of the structure element at the resting position at the rod. The present disclosure further relates to a shock absorbing structure comprising such shock absorbing arrangements.

The problem of penetrating through nets and other objects is solved by cutting the object using a linear cutting assembly having a linear cutter arm that moves in an arc and pivots about an attachment point. The object is cut by a severing action caused by a moveable blade of the linear cutting arm moving back and forth across a stationary blade of the linear cutter arm. An underwater vehicle modified to incorporate an embodiment of the linear cutting assembly can cut a sufficiently large opening in the object to allow the vehicle to pass through.

The present disclosure provides a wide-based sub. Further, the wide-based sub may include a hull comprising a wide-based structure. Further, the wide-based sub May include a deck which may be configured for facilitating performance of an activity associated with the wide-based sub. Further, the activity includes one or more of a storage of an asset and a maritime operation associated with the wide-based sub. Further, the wide-based sub may include a propulsion device which may be configured for propelling the wide-based sub in relation to each of the underwater environment and the afloat environment. Further, the wide-based sub may include a missiles storage and firing module configured for automatic firing and reloading of a plurality of missiles in a range of 10 to 1000.
