ADCPs In Action in Australia
Joining with long-term partner, Teledyne RDI instruments, BlueZone has conducted three “ADCPs in Action” events in Australia. These events offer the ADCP user community in Australia a unique venue for discussing applications and lessons learned from operating ADCPs “down under”. ADCPs in Action represents an outstanding opportunity to network, share information and learn about new and innovative uses of ADCPs for scientific, commercial and military applications.
Our inaugural event in October 2012 was a big success with over forty Marine Measurements attendees meeting on the Gold Coast for a day of presentations followed by a user workshop. In August 2013 BlueZone and Teledyne RDI again joined forces to stage an event to bring together hydrographers, scientists and engineers operating in the Water Resources community to network and learn. In 2015 ADCPs in Action was bigger than ever combining Marine Measurements and Water Resources in parallel streams. A full complement of Teledyne RDI technical staff was available and conduct comprehensive product training sessions for both Marine Measurements and Water Resources users were conducted over the two days.

Submarine Institute of Australia
The Submarine Institute of Australia is the nation’s premier organisation for the promotion of submarine matters. Established in 1999, the SIA has a vision that builds on the centenary of submarines (1914-2014). While the participation of submarines was periodic in their first 100 years of RAN history, the second 100 years requires a determined and successful approach to sustaining and growing Australia’s submarine capability.
BlueZone is a corporate member of the Submarine Institute of Australia and regularly participates in and sponsors SIA activities.
BlueZone Group has been a supplier to the COLLINS Class submarine project from the original construction when SOURIAU through hull perpetrators were specified for many critical applications for electrical and fibre-optic connectivity through the submarine hull.

5th Submarine Science, Technology and Engineering Conference (SubSTEC5)
18-21 November 2019 - Fremantle
Submarines under the sea operate in a heterogeneous three-dimensional world. Knowledge of the environment is extremely important for operations as sensor efficiency is directly related to underwater sound propagation. Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) technology, first developed in the 1960s, is the principal method used by submarines to collect data on the thermal profile of the immediate operating environment. This paper proposes that the use of micro Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) has the potential to provide both an enhanced XBT function and significant other capability for a submarine.

Teledyne Marine Technology Workshop in San Diego
In 2017 the largest ever delegation from the BlueZone Group travelled across the Pacific in October for the 2017 Teledyne Marine Technology Workshop held in San Diego.
With multiple concurrent tracks across the marine world including marine measurements, water resources and defence & security there was plenty of information to take in for the BlueZone team to support future customer applications. The busy conference program was supported by a comprehensive on-water demonstration schedule that included demonstration of many integrated systems developed from the extensive Teledyne Marine product portfolio.
