Ocean Shield

The Boeing-managed ground-based system intended to shield the continental United States successfully intercepted a simulated incoming missile over the Pacific Ocean for the first time Sunday, the Pentagon said.

Australian officials said Wednesday they will announce the new search zone for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 by month's end.

The ADV Ocean Shield and the Bluefin-21 have been deployed for the ongoing search for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia.

The Australian Defence Vessel (ADV) Ocean Shield has returned to the search area to continue the underwater hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre said Wednesday.

Australia is deploying a mini-sub to scour the Indian Ocean seabed for missing Malaysian jet MH370 at the daunting depth of 4,500 metres (15,000 feet), abandoning the search for black-box transmissions six days after the last ping was heard.

The month-long search for the Malaysian jet received a tremendous boost when a navy ship detected 2 more signals that most likely emanated from the aircraft's black boxes.

Australian ship Ocean Shield has detected two more signals in the search for missing Malaysian flight MH370, a senior official said on Wednesday.

Ships searching for underwater signals from Flight MH370 have heard no more "pings" and will spend several more days trying to pinpoint a crash site.

An Australian navy ship has detected new underwater signals consistent with aircraft black boxes, the search chief said on Monday, describing it as the "most promising lead" so far in the month-old hunt for missing Flight MH370.

Australia on Sunday sent planes and ships to investigate signals detected by a Chinese ship in the hunt for a missing Malaysian jet.

Planes and ships were being diverted Sunday to the area where a Chinese vessel detected signals consistent with a black box beacon in the hunt for missing flight MH370.

Nearly a month after the Malaysia Airlines jet carrying 239 people vanished, authorities still have no idea how or why it crashed and warn that unless the black box is found, the mystery may never be solved.
