SOF Week 23 – Secumar

Tuesday, May 16th, 2023

This is the SECUVAC from German dive equipment manufacturer Secumar.

This two-part equipment is designed to protect an injured person during maritime operations. It consists of a polymer rescue sled for rigidity and ease of movement and a waterproof cover with zippers at three sides. The sled can also be hoisted. You can also insert an inflatable mattress between the sled and cover. Inside is a fleece blanket.

The face covering is clear to allow rescuers to monitor and communicate with the evacuee. It includes hoops to keep it off of the evacuee’s face.

Although the evacuee breathes what air is inside the SECUVAC, there is an inlet valve located at abdominal area and an outlet valve at the head area. This can be used to provide oxygen and positive buoyancy. There is also laser cut PALS webbing at select areas to attach gear.

The version of the popular Go Sport Fin features a higher specification grade of Monprene to provide slightly more stiffness for those experienced divers, or those who need that little bit extra in demanding conditions. It’s also lighter than the legacy issue fin.

Offered in Orange and Black.

SOFWERX – Maritime Capable Tethered UAS Assessment Event

Friday, March 17th, 2023

SOFWERX, in collaboration with SOF Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (SOF AT&L) Program Executive Office Special Reconnaissance (PEO-SR), will host an Assessment Event (AE) 15-19 May, 2023 to identify solutions for a small tethered Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) that can operate in both land and saltwater maritime environments for intelligence gathering, surveillance and communications. The system must have some built in capability for full motion video, but also enable the hosting of modular payloads to perform additional functions.

The tethered UAS should be capable of operating in a static or moving configuration while performing force protection and intelligence gathering functions. The tethered UAS should provide a basic full motion video capability, but also be adaptable to carry a variety of payloads.

This assessment solicits white papers to describe off-the-shelf tethered UAS. The most promising candidates will be invited to demonstrate some performance attributes with vendor provided equipment and operators. The demonstration will occur at a remote site with representatives from USSOCOM. A stipend will be provided to defray the costs of travel and shipping to the demonstration site.

Interested parties must submit NLT 09 April 2023 11:59 PM ET.

Visit events.sofwerx.org/uas for more information.

Blueye Robotics To Host Hands on Demonstration Treasure Hunt in Va Beach

Thursday, March 16th, 2023

Blueye Robotics is announcing a “treasure hunt” in Virginia Beach, VA, 10:00 am- 6:00 pm local time on Friday March 24, 2023, and Saturday March 25, 2023. The goal is to enable interested end users from across the professional, commercial and private spectrum to test drive the Blueye ROVs and get some hands-on instruction directing the ROVs and managing their various payloads from members of the Blueye team. Submerged targets will be acquired using a sonar and camera under professional instruction. The Blueye Robotics systems are very easy to set up, use and maintain. Additionally, products have been donated by dive industry notables like Ares Watch Company and SCUBAPRO for active participants in the target hunts. Also, any submerged trash that is encountered during the event will count as a “find” and will be removed from the bay.

Blueye Robotics performed the blast damage survey of the Nord Stream pipeline in October 2022. This is a great opportunity to discuss the survey with members of the Blueye team who performed it as well as to handle an actual piece of the pipeline recovered during the survey.

Food and soft drinks will be provided. Come on out and get some hands-on experience with the Blueye Robotics ROV’s, do a little networking, enjoy some good food and try to find some treasure.

Wx call info: Light rain will not cancel the event; however, lightning may delay or cancel. Notification of any changes will be sent to all registrants.

Registration is required at no cost here: Event March 24: Blueye Treasure Hunt

SOFWERX – Combatant Craft Division Subsystems Assessment Event

Wednesday, March 15th, 2023

SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM and Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock – Combatant Craft Division (NSWC-CCD), will host an Assessment Event (AE) 16-18 May 2023 to identify solutions for fabrication, assembly, and integration of subsystems into a watercraft of both aluminum and fiberglass construction.

The objective is to fabricate, assemble, and install non-electrical, mechanical and pneumatic subsystems into a watercraft (less than 50 feet in length) to facilitate the transportation of mission vehicles. The subsystems include a topside cover, L&R system, and a pneumatic system. A three dimensional computer-aided design of the subsystems and watercraft will be provided as government furnished information.

The topside cover subsystem includes inflatable panels that traverse the length of the topside opening on a track attached to the hull topside. The track is fitted with cross members on rollers to enable the panels to be retracted when the cover is required to be open.

The L&R subsystem includes longitudinal bunks attached to the craft structure to support the mission vehicles. Side bumpers and a forward bump stop are utilized for vehicle alignment.

The purpose of the pneumatic subsystem is to enable the craft to change draft for vehicle L&R operations. The pneumatic subsystem consists of inflatable panels (along the hull sides and bottom), hoses, a control panel, and other hardware required for the inflation/deflation of panels.

A hollow watercraft hull, made of both aluminum and fiberglass construction, will be provided as government furnished equipment to the awardee to complete the installations of all the subsystems. The final deliverable will be a completed watercraft with all subsystems installed.

Interested parties should submit NLT 11 April 2023 11:59 PM ET.
