Maritime Technology UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY FOR WATERBASED OPERATIONS With help of top notch units around the globe we are rapidly developing innovative equipment to cope with the ever changing threats and operational challenges. In this chapter we will have a closer look at three unique developments for maritime operations. TAGS® BOARDING MAGNETS The brand new TAGS® Boarding Magnets are designed for instant, super strong tethering in maritime environments. Maintaining a specific position under water can be extremely difficult. Especially when strong current occur. Permanent magnets can be used but the impact on the metal can be heard throughout the ship hull or structure and will certainly give your position away. TAGS® Boarding Magnets can easily be switched ON/OFF and offer a covert and secure solution to attach yourself, equipment or devices (eg tracking systems) to a vessel or any metal structure. Holds up to 455kg/1000lbs (depending on the thickness and the surface of the metal). Attaches above and under the waterline to both flat surface and pipes. Just place the magnet where you want it to be and turn the lever 180 degrees to “switch the magnet ON”. Since it is already placed against the surface the action is completely noiseless. The unit can be relocated or removed within seconds. Without leaving any trace. TAGS® Boarding Magnets feature marine grade corrosive resistant coating and are equipped with positive locks. Available in 2 sizes. TAGS® BOARDING MAGNETS Item code Discription TG BMS TAGS® Boarding Magnet Small TG BMM TAGS® Boarding Magnet Medium ACCESS MAGAZINE 34
Maritime Technology TAGS® ASSET RECOVERY DEVICE (ARD) The versatile TAGS® Asset Recovery Device (ARD) makes it possible to recover assets from below the water line. Ideal to recover equipment that has accidentally been dropped into the water whilst diving or during boat based operations. Loosing expensive mission critical equipment to the sea might negatively influence the operation. If that is not the case it will definitely influence next years budget. The ARD features a bladder system that automatically inflates from CO2 cartridges. Its buoyancy will surface the equipment attached. The deflated bladder is packed in a compact size bag that features several attachment options (including MOLLE System). Inflation controlled by a sophisticated trigger system. The trigger can be set to any depth (up to 90m/295ft). Using this “depth mode” has several applications. Set the trigger to a low depth for surface operations in order not to expose sensitive equipment to water pressure. During diving operations you can choose the trigger setting just below the deepest point in your planned depth profile. Which of course varies with the type of diving (eg scuba vs rebreather). The trigger is also equipped with a manual actuator. The bladder is available in several sizes to accomodate different weight lift options. PROGRAMMABLE SUBMERSIBLE LIFE VEST (PSLV) Programmable Submersible Life Vest (PSLV) features the first automatic inflating vest available in three modes: Immersion or “Auto” mode, Submersion “Dive” mode and “Scuba” mode. In Immersion or Auto mode, the PSLV is an autoinflating Personal Floatation Device (PFD), and is virtually immune to wave splashes, heavy rain, and high humidity. While a wet environment will not set it off, simply immersing into the water will. In Submersion or Dive mode, the PSLV inflates only when the user’s self-set time and/or depth triggers are exceeded. This valuable delay in inflation allows for the operator to: 1. Recover from a fall into the water when early inflation is not desirable and could be detrimental 2. Save a sinking buddy 3. Recovery from sink holes in rivers or swamps 4. Time to escape a sinking aircraft or an overturned boat to avoid early inflation that might trap them. The Depth trigger is valuable when the operator is faced with a rapid sink rate, which can accelerate as he descends into deep water. Even though the time trigger has not been met, exceeding the depth limit will cause inflation. In Scuba mode, the user may stay underwater as long as the mission requires, however if he exceeds his depth setting, the PSLV will fire. This mode is useful in shallow-water tactical rebreather operations. ACCESS MAGAZINE 35
