NEWS | CellCube selected by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for Extended Duration for Storage Installations (EDSI) Project The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy, awarded three prototype contracts for the EDSI project, one of which went to CellCube 🙌 Their megawatt-scale vanadium redox flow battery and management system will deploy integrated hardware and software to connect and balance base energy systems. Decentralized energy resiliency is enhancing the Department of Defense's (DoD) ability to sustain operations, including disaster relief and security missions. They are equipping critical facilities with advanced energy storage systems, which increases backup power capacity and uptime.

Should the RAN adopt the U.S. model for submarine officer manning, it would result in a more persistent and effective deterrent force in the Pacific. https://bit.ly/4af9dfK

New #USNavy long-range #shipbuilding plan details decommissioning 19 ships in FY 2025. The latest 30-year shipbuilding plan sketches out two paths to get to a larger fleet – one bounded by flat budgets and a second one that seeks to build the ships the Navy needs to reach its goal of 381 ships. Both plans would seek to buy two attack subs per year from FY 2026 through FY 2043. Both plans also show the Navy buying one Columbia-class #submarine per year from FY 2026 through FY 2035, reflecting the goal of recapitalizing the sea-based leg of the nuclear triad and the need to replace the Ohio-class #submarines one for one as they retire. | https://bit.ly/3x9SRq0 The plan also breaks down the significant investment in the submarine industrial base that Navy officials argue is required to both build the boats the U.S. needs for AUKUS. | Download the Document: https://bit.ly/3x3uOsY ⚓ #submersibles #silentservice #defensecontractors #defenseindustry #nationalsecurity

Our power and energy journey continues….

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to attend the Submarine Industrial Base Conference (SIBC) in Arlington, Va. The conference included speakers from the US Navy, General Dynamics/Electric Boat, Huntington Ingalls Industries, and HII’s Newport News Shipyard. For over 30 years, the SIBC has been an essential communication vehicle to the manufacturing base, supply chain, and key stakeholders in support of the US Navy’s submarine production. The speakers at the SIBC were very informative regarding the production status and delivery objectives of the Virginia Class SSN Fast Attack Submarines and the Columbia Class SSBN Nuclear Submarines. One challenge that was echoed throughout the conference by the manufacturing base and supply chain was related to raw materials and finished parts delivery delays, which jeopardize production milestones. To combat these challenges, it is critical for fabricators, manufacturers, production facilities, and assembly plants to appreciate the importance of reliability and preventative maintenance. Best practices for preventative maintenance, reliability, tribology, and condition monitoring of manufacturing equipment are essential. For the nominal cost of sampling and testing oils and lubricants, manufacturers can realize substantial cost savings and avoid forced outages, downtime and production delays. Delivery of these submarines as strategic deterrents is essential for the defense, safety, and stability of our country. Clark Laboratories is proud to be a part of the Submarine Industrial Base and will continue our relentless pursuit of quality and reliability as we support our customers’ common goal to fulfill our obligation to this mission. oil-condition.com #usnavy #buildsubmarines #testing #conditionmonitoring #reliability #tribology #preventativemaintenance

Anthony Albanese Richard Marles @Simon O’Connor Michael Shoebridge Marcus Hellyer *THE GAAPAA HAVE FINALLY REALISED THEY ARE WAY BEHIND THE 🎱 BALL* 1. The USN are fitting the new AN/APS-154 AAS (Advanced Airborne Sensor) to all P-8 MPAs (Maritime Patrol Aircraft). 2. The below CRS Report now advises the development of the SSN(X) Project (the Virginia Class Replacement) has been slipped/delayed from FY2035 to FY2040. 3. Looks like the USN of our Great And All Powerful American Ally (the GAAPAA) has, finally, “connected the dots” and realised they are way behind what others like China 🇨🇳 have already fielded in terms of Submarines (Nuclear & Conventional) and, of even more importance, ASW (Anti Submarine Warfare) Capabilities going out over the Total Project Life-Cycle of AUKUS. 4. Expect to see the POHMs do likewise. Horde 🤣😂🤣 https://lnkd.in/grwhmC8e .

In the latest aerial arsenal development, the Air Force has deployed the B-61-12 tactical nuclear bomb on its fleet of 20 B-2 Spirit stealth bombers. These high-tech flying wing jets, part of the 509th Bomb Wing based at Whiteman Air Force Base, are set to redefine strategic capabilities. By 2025, approximately 480 B61-12s are expected to replace B61-4 bombs, making their mark across various aircraft, including the B-2's successor, the B-21 Raider, F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters, F-16 Fighting Falcon tactical jet fighters, and more. Most of these aircraft have already test-dropped the B61-12, showcasing its versatility.

The futuristic warplane B-21 Raider is moving closer to becoming the nation's next nuclear stealth bomber. The B-21 Raider began flight testing at Edwards Air Force Base in California as the plane progresses toward becoming “the backbone” of the US Air Force bomber fleet, the Air Force said. The Air Force plans to build 100 of the warplanes, which have a flying wing shape like their predecessor, the B-2 Spirit, but with advanced materials, propulsion and stealth technology. "Fifty years of advances in low-observable technology have gone into this aircraft,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said. “The most sophisticated air-defense systems will struggle to detect a B-21.” The B-21 Raider is the first new American bomber aircraft in over 30 years—almost every aspect of the program is classified, as efforts focus on preventing China from building a similar version. https://ow.ly/YOBz50RYIyy
