The ICN shipyard (Itaguaí Construções Navais), a joint venture between Naval Group and Odebrecht Engenharia e Construção, informed the Brazilian Navy that the sea trial of the first of the four S-BR diesel-electric attack submarines (modified Scorpène class) from the Submarine Development Program (Prosub) will start this August.
The sea trial of the vessel and its equipment is expected to last until the first half of 2020, while the commissioning of the submarine is scheduled for October 2020.

The Tests

The Brazilian Navy reported that not only the submarine’s equipment will be tested; the Sea Trial will also serve to test the launch of a heavy F21 torpedo of 533 mm from Naval Group and a mock-up of a MBDA Exocet SM39 Block 2 Mod 2 anti-ship missile.

The First Of The Four Submarines Of The Prosub Program Will Start, Now This Month Of August, In Itaguaí, The Sea Operation Tests

The Tests

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

The end of Nokia: the brand that was the cellphone of an entire generation has ended its smartphones, left Brazil, and today survives only in basic phones in India while seeking a new partner.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.

An Indonesian fisherman pulls a mysterious object from the sea and discovers that it is a Chinese underwater monitoring system, part of the so-called Underwater Great Wall that Beijing uses to track submarines and unmanned vehicles in strategic straits of the region.

Generation Z engineer at Microsoft reveals how AI has changed her routine, removed some of the repetitive work, increased the demand for technical judgment, and transformed programmers into “architects” who need to guide tools.

Suzuki Alto Hybrid does 28.2 km/l, costs from ¥1.14 million, about R$ 36.2 thousand in direct conversion, CVT transmission, and reveals the ultra-cheap, hybrid, and economical urban car that Brazil has never known.

Nestlé’s factory in Araras, inaugurated in 1921, enters a new phase with R$ 1 billion, artificial intelligence, industrial automation, and a projected increase in soluble coffee production until 2028.

Google wants to release 32 million mosquitoes in California and Florida and has requested official authorization from the American government for this. It sounds like a nightmare, but the insects are sterilized males bred to exterminate the mosquitoes that kill millions of people each year.

While the end of the 6×1 schedule becomes a national debate, Brazilians work almost 2,000 hours a year, have the 4th longest working hours in South America, and still live in one of the most unequal countries in the region, showing that working too much does not mean better income distribution.

A new survey shows that the circular economy is gaining traction among Brazilians, but the preference for conventional products still hinders the sector’s progress, affecting investments, green job creation, and long-term environmental goals.
