“Each of our transmitters has an atomic clock built into it, the same built into GPS satellites, and they can listen to each other and self-synchronize. UK poised to develop 'lots of solutions' after Galileo exit but now EU fury erupts Įrdogan and Putin strike deal in huge blow to EU sanctions Putin's gravy train to be derailed TODAY. Mr Pattabiraman went on: “The national security vulnerability comes from the fact that the economy as a whole, in the UK, depends on 14 or 15 critical infrastructure services, from telecoms to power to the electrical grid and the financial sector. While the UK’s reliance on GNSS has yet to be a problem, a report by London Economics warned that an attack on these vulnerable systems could result in a £1billion loss per day loss over a five-day period for the British economy. “Without firing a single shot, Russia have been able to affect, in this case aviation, and bring down a lot of activities would not have considered threatened in the past.” “This has made the theoretical very real, and it has highlighted the broader issue of GPS dependencies that all western economies have.” No economic activity took place in 2016.Mr Pattabiraman explained: “The war is with Ukraine, but we have seen reports across Baltic states, Eastern Europe and the Kaliningrad area where Russia was jamming GPS up to the point where the European aviation safety agency called for all aircraft to ignore GPS in those areas because of jamming and spoofing. Sea Wolf Express was founded in August 2015. According to Högman, investors behind the project are Finns. The GEVs are to cost approximately €1 million each.
As such, if wave heights exceed four meters, the trip would have to be canceled. The largest natural obstacle for the operation of GEVs is large waves.
Once the project is launched, Sea Wolf Express could begin offering up to 12 departures per day. The trip with the 12-seater GEV is to take approximately 30 minutes.Ī one-way ticket, which must be boooked in advance, will run passengers approximately €100. The company is seeking to offer new transport services on the Tallinn-Helsinki route which could serve as alternatives to ferries and planes.
Sea Wolf Express has entered into a preliminary contract with Russian company RDC Aqualines for the production of 15 GEVs. Tanel Jõeäär, another Sea Wolf Express executive, explained that the reason behind the delay, among other factors, was that the ride on the vehicle was more uncomforable than expected - an issue that was revealed during testing. The company first planned to launch its services in fall 2016. "Everything has to be perfect in terms of safety and comfort, so we do not have to rush too much," Högman said. According to Sea Wolf Express CEO Ville Högman, in the best case scenario, the company may manage to conduct its first flights this year already, but the service will more likely be launched in 2019.
