AIP systems for submarines compared and assessed
Article Abstract:
The use of air-independent propulsion (AIP) systems that is essential for modern non-nuclear submarine operations has vastly extended their range of possible mission scenarios of the submarine and decreases the risk of being detected by the opponent. A short description on four AIP system that have oxygen stored in liquid form at room temperature below 100K in similar super-insulated double-walled tanks, only differing in the strong pressure is presented.

Submarine recovery in case of flooding
Article Abstract:
SSPA has carried out simulations of what actually happens when water is flooding in a submarine to enhance the preparedness for handling such a terrible situation, and to increase the possibility of surviving such a situation. Two of the phenomenon that was identified as taking place during the flooding procedure is, the water ingress/egress mechanism and the internal motion of the accumulated water, including its interaction with the motion of the vessel.

Recovery and ground handling of shipborne helos and UAV's: Part III: Fixed wing UAV recovery by ships mission possible
Article Abstract:
Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) recovery onto ships is an important aspect for Navies, but several attempts to achieve this have failed in the past. Modern equipments and new concepts that can help in achieving this seemingly impossible objective are discussed.
