U.S. Navy Tests the GhostSwimmer: A Shark-Like Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV)
weFHebG.jpg

The U.S. Navy completed tests on the GhostSwimmer unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story (JEBLC-FS), Dec. 11. GhostSwimmer is the latest in a series of science-fiction-turned-reality projects developed by the chief of naval operations' Rapid Innovation Cell (CRIC) project, Silent NEMO.

Silent NEMO is an experiment that explores the possible uses for biomimetic, unmanned underwater vehicles in the fleet.

Over the past several weeks, Boston Engineering's tuna-sized device has been gathering data at JEBLC-FS on tides, varied currents, wakes, and weather conditions for the development of future tasks.

"GhostSwimmer will allow the Navy to have success during more types of missions while keeping divers and Sailors safe," said Michael Rufo, director of Boston Engineering's Advanced Systems Group.

The GhostSwimmer was developed to resemble the shape and mimic the swimming style of a large fish. At a length of approximately 5 feet and a weight of nearly 100 pounds, the GhostSwimmer vehicle can operate in water depths ranging from 10 inches to 300 feet.

Gare si tu es aux States : 5mn plus tard tu auras tout une bande de flingueurs qui voudront se farcir un requin, 10 mn plus tard les SWAT et une heure plus tard la Navy, mauvais pour ta tranquilité

 

Par contre si tu as un hydravion comme sur la photo...

Les plages californiennes n'ont rien à voir avec celles apposées de l'Australie. Constaté en 1993 et 2000. Pour celles de la Floride, on va demander à Xavier, il doit les connaitre.

Boeing & Liquid Robotics Demonstrating their SHARCs Wave & Solar Powered USV/UUV
ZtiJ48G.jpg

A joint Boeing Defense and Liquid Robotics team recently demonstrated the (SHARCs, or Sensor Hosting Autonomous Remote Craft) wave and solar powered autonomous craft. The SHARCs is based on Liquid Robotics' Wave Glider SV3, a unique wave and solar propelled 2 parts system (one on the surface, the other under water).
...
Defense Applications
During AAD 2014 (defense show in South Africa which Navy Recognition was covering), a Liquid Robotics representative told us that the Wave Glider SV3 is already in use with many navies around the world including the U.S. Navy (which has around 30 units), the Royal Australian Navy (which operates 6 of these unmanned vehicles), the Royal Norwegian Navy and even NATO.

The U.S. Navy deploys the Wave Glider SV3 for a number of missions including:
» Information Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR)
» Underwater Terrain Mapping
» Anti-submarine Warfare (ASW - The system is then fitted with a towed array)
» Underwater relay
» Data link relay

Boeing Echo Voyager Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Can Operate Autonomously for Months
p6prxPp.jpg

Boeing today introduced Echo Voyager, its latest unmanned, undersea vehicle (UUV), which can operate autonomously for months at a time thanks to a hybrid rechargeable power system and modular payload bay. The 51-foot-long vehicle is not only autonomous while underway, but it can also be launched and recovered without the support ships that normally assist UUVs. Echo Voyager is the latest innovation in Boeing’s UUV family, joining the 32-foot Echo Seeker and the 18-foot Echo Ranger.

...

 “Echo Voyager can collect data while at sea, rise to the surface, and provide information back to users in a near real-time environment,” said Lance Towers, director, Sea & Land, Boeing Phantom Works. “Existing UUVs require a surface ship and crew for day-to-day operations. Echo Voyager eliminates that need and associated costs.”

DARPA Christened "Sea Hunter" ACTUV Prototype Vessel for Persistent Anti-Submarine Warfare
u4bBuhH.jpg

DARPA held a christening ceremony for the technology demonstration vessel it has developed and built through the Agency’s Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program. Taking place in Portland, Oregon, the event marks the vessel’s formal transition from a DARPA-led design and construction project to a new stage of open-water testing to be conducted jointly with the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

Acquisition de petits drones Blackwing (aérien), déployés à partir des SSN et UUV de l'US Navy:

US Navy to Deploy Submarine-Launched Drones

The United States Navy will deploy reconnaissance drones on submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), California-based U.S. defense contractor AeroVironment announced on May 16 at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition in National Harbor, Maryland.

AeroVironment’s so-called Blackwing miniature tube-launched drone can be launched from fully submerged attack and guided missile submarines, as well as UUVs. The Blackwing drone is specifically designed to operate in Anti-Access/Aerial Denial (A2/AD) environments, according to the company website.

The new drone is equipped with advanced electronics. “Blackwing employs an advanced, miniature electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) payload, Selective Availability Anti-spoofing Module (SASSM) GPS and AeroVironment’s secure Digital Data Link (DDL), all packaged into a vehicle that launches from manned and unmanned submarines,” the press release reads.

The new UAV’s primary mission will be to conduct aerial reconnaissance for submarines, special forces, and provide targeting information to strike aircraft. As I reported previously, the drone could also be weaponized, although there appears to be no plan to do so at the moment. The drone can remain in air for up to an hour.

“Blackwing can also be integrated with and deployed from a wide variety of surface vessels and mobile ground vehicles to provide rapid response reconnaissance capabilities that help our customers operate more safely and effectively,” according to an AeroVironment executive.

The U.S. Navy is slated to acquire 150 Blackwing drones, the Navy’s director for undersea warfare, Rear Admiral Charles Richard, told USNI News. “So there’s 150 small unmanned aerial systems coming in on submarines, so we’re now buying them,” Richard said.

“It’s not something that you would [just] see on a PowerPoint presentation. These are fully integrated they’ll go in talk back to the ship, talk to the combat control system and additionally we’ll have 12 of a 21-inch torpedo tube launched vehicles with much longer launched duration.”

Blackwing was developed as part of a so-called Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD) named “Advanced Weapons Enhanced by submarine UAS against mobile targets,” sponsored by the U.S. Navy and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) in 2013. “This JCTD was completed in September 2015 with a strong recommendation to transition the capability into the fleet,” according to the press release.

It remains unclear when the first Blackwing drones will be deployed aboard U.S. submarines.

The U.S. Navy is currently testing and developing a number of different underwater drones and underwater-launched UAVs. For example, the Naval Research Laboratory is testing a drone dubbed Flimmer that can operate both in the air and underwater and will purportedly be capable of spotting and attacking enemy submarines.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has also been working on launching UAVs from hidden pods on ocean floors, so-called Upward Falling Payloads (UFP). “The UFP concept centers on developing deployable, unmanned, nonlethal distributed systems that lie on the deep-ocean floor in special containers for years at a time. These deep-sea nodes could be remotely activated when needed and recalled to the surface,” according to the DARPA website.

92gsDUJ.jpg

Elbit Systems completed recently a trial test torpedo launch from its Seagull multi-mission, autonomous Unmanned Surface Vessel(USV) system. The trial, performed out of Israel's Haifa port,demonstrated the capability of Seagull to install and launch lightweight torpedoes, adding to the advanced capabilities of the USV, which is designed to carry out unmanned maritime missions, such as protection of critical sea areas and high-value assets against submarines and sea mine threats.
