QinetiQ System to
Norway
QinetiQ signed a contract worth more than $5 million for the supply and ongoing support of its LOKI torpedo countermea- sures to the Royal Norwegian
Navy. These reportedly will form part of the Norwegian Navy's integrated torpedo defense suite on its new Fridtjof Nansen-class frigates. A spokesman explained that LOKI is a maintenance-free, expendable torpedo, countermea- sure system designed as a defense against acoustic-homing torpe- does.
Sonardyne Dataloggers
FMC Kongsberg Subsea (Kongsberg, Norway) placed an order with Sonardyne for four acoustic data logger systems for use on the Greater Plutonio field offshore Angola. A spokesman said that advances in acoustic technology from Sonardyne are now enabling the use of down- hole instrumentation over pro- longed periods with reservoir data being recovered quickly and effi- ciently via wideband acoustic telemetry. The equipment will be deployed on subsea wellheads in around 1,500 meters water depth and will store and relay data from downhole pressure and temperature gauges. The data loggers feature
Sonardyne's new Fusion wideband technol- ogy, which is designed to allow large vol- umes of data to be rapidly retrieved at the surface via acoustic telemetry. Sonardyne acoustic data logger systems are depth rated to 3,000 m and can be deployed, connected to downhole instrumentation, and then later recovered entirely by ROV. www.seadiscovery.com Marine Technology Reporter 17 news
