THE ENABLERS OF MARITIME POWER
biomedical equipment. Setting up of biomedical engineering equipment
of the state of the art University Hospital at General Sir John Kotelawala
Defence University was carried out by the SLN biomedical engineers and
technicians and maintenance of same to date. Upgradation of workshops
with advanced calibration tools and developing technical capabilities
of engineers and technicians are future challenges in the biomedical
engineering domain.

Weapon Engineering Unit (WEU)

Weapon Engineering Unit was established in 1997 in Naval Dockyard,
Trincomalee to introduce new technology in weapon engineering/fire
control systems while maintaining and upgrading the existing weapon
systems with high sensitive electro optical devices to suit the perceived
threat. The section is responsible for repair/ maintenance and upgrading
of all electrical and electronics parts of stabilised weapon systems,
electro optical devices, Xenon searchlights and day/night vision of SLN.

This unit was very much in action during the latter part of the conflict
commencing year 2006, by developing many indigenous innovations
at a very short period of time using technology and limited available
resources that not only saved many lives but millions of rupees for the
government.
