THREE major problems here. MAST: If not made 100% fibre carbon and made of any kind of metal you may just have killed the combat diver. Everything has to have a very low metallic signature to avoid triggering mines. Same applies to your rack mount, fittings, etc.. CONTROL PANEL: As small as it is, it creates drag and will reduce the distance you can go because of battery consumption. GPS: It is possible to monitor who connects to a GPS, therefore to have his position. Any diver using this will reveal his position to any enemy having access to the satellite (legally or hacking). Now this may be useful for marine archaeology and underwater work. BUT the software must be able to track the path the diver used, which can be impossible if any current since you won't be able to get the real speed.

I thought GPS was a recieve only system ???.

@@brianredmond4919 The GPS has an ID, how do you think they communicate with the satellites? Military, and law enforcement can track users of gps as well as those connecting remotely to it.

@@DiabloOutdoors thats interesting as I thought it just received signals from known satellite positions and worked out the position from the time delays . Never knew it transmitted back to the satellite .

Hello. Thank you for presenting concerns about the ENC3M. However, described points are most likely not based on real experiance. 1. There are no electric powered propulsion systems which are non magnetic- due to electric engines construction. Our mast is made from Alluminium, however- magnetic signature in this element is a minor part compared to all propulsion systems. Different mine detection methods (sonars) and neutralisation (non magnetic close circuit breathing systems_ are used . 2. There is no smaller display panel on the market available underwater navigation systems. Our size is almost irrelevant for the unit driving parameters. 3. GPS used is a passive receiving system using trilateriation for position computing. Receivers vary from ech other regarding it's specifications, and there are other challanges associated with such systems operation and information/ position safety, but this is not a topic for public discussion. 4. Yes, the position can be influenced by current action- and there are available much bigger systems which use DVL speed metering which can give it's influence. If, there is a correct water layers structure, and bottom in range.... All depends on the mission where it should be used. Thank you for input. Greetings Seacraft Team
