🚨 A “token issue” Serious technical problems Danish frigate during Red Sea attack Interoperability is a term that gets thrown around a lot -finding out systems don’t interface while in harms way has implications. Also a serious reality as ground formations acros the DoD are increasingly integrating robotic and autonomous systems to increase their combat effectiveness.

𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝! 🏗️ It was great to see Filemon Wesselink featured in this episode of #omscholenmetfilemon (Dutch) at Gasunie. This topic is highly relevant, as maintaining the safety of underground pipeline systems is indeed a critical priority. Additionally, the costs associated with damage from excavation work can be substantial. According to the 'Overzicht graafschades' report (https://lnkd.in/ezmA2XFi) by Rijksinspectie Digitale Infrastructuur, these costs are rising each year, reaching nearly €50 million in 2023!   Having timely insight into activities near these critical infrastructures is crucial to prevent further damage. Satellite-based monitoring can contribute to detecting and mitigating even more of those activities, ultimately reducing the need for helicopter flights to perform such work. Satellite-based monitoring offers a continuous, reliable, and sustainable solution for these inspections. 🛰️   And, an added advantage of working with satellite-based monitoring is that you don't need to have a fear of flying with a helicopter. 😉 #pipelinesafety #monitoring #satellitedata

"No Find, No Fee": The Last Hunt for MH370's Lost Secrets In a significant development that could finally unlock one of aviation's most perplexing mysteries, Malaysia has approved a new search for Flight MH370 – the passenger jet that vanished without a trace a decade ago with 239 souls on board. Under a bold "no find, no fee" agreement, US-based Ocean Infinity will lead a high-tech exploration of a 15,000 sq km area in the southern Indian Ocean. The company will only receive the $70 million payment if they succeed where others have failed. This new search is backed by what Malaysian authorities describe as "credible" new data, offering fresh hope to hundreds of families who have lived in limbo for ten years. The mystery of MH370 has spawned countless theories, from technical failures to more controversial explanations. A 2018 investigation suggested deliberate manipulation of the plane's controls but couldn't definitively explain the "why" or "who" behind the tragedy. What do you think really happened to Flight MH370 ? Share your thoughts below. 🤔 #mistery #accident #search #aviation

Improving aircraft towing safety is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring the well-being of both personnel and equipment. Here are some strategies to enhance safety during aircraft towing operations: Specific Training: Provide comprehensive training for operators on the use of towing equipment, emphasizing the unique requirements of different aircraft types1. Wing Walker Training: Ensure that wing walkers are well-trained. They play a vital role in monitoring the clearance of the aircraft’s wings during towing operations1. Enhanced Communication: Improve communication protocols between the flight deck, ground crew, and towing operators to ensure clear and concise instructions are given and received1. Equipment Inspection: Regularly inspect towing equipment for any signs of damage or wear and tear that could compromise safety1. Damage Reporting: Encourage prompt reporting of any damage, however minor, to ensure that issues are addressed before they lead to accidents. Clean Environment: Maintain a tidy ramp area to prevent foreign object debris (FOD) that could interfere with towing operations. Fire Safety: Be vigilant about fire hazards and ensure that all personnel are aware of the procedures in case of a fire during towing. Use of E-Tools: Utilize electronic tools and resources provided by safety organizations, such as the Flight Safety Foundation, to access information on best practices in ramp safety. Adherence to Procedures: Follow the prescribed procedures for towing, including the use of ground locking pins and observing maximum nose landing gear steering angles. Tug Training Tips: Implement safety protocols and checklists for the secure use of aircraft tugs to prevent accidents.
