Check out the concepts involved in using underwater drones, armed and operating in and under oceans, to complement the use of manned submarines.
Aside from being an unmanned drone that can carry weapons, what is truly amazing is that it can move underwater WITHOUT an engine to ensure silent movement. Yes, no engine noise. Detection is nearly impossible. We learned from real Manta Rays how to propel itself through the ocean.
Welcome to Submarine Insider, where we explore the future of underwater warfare. In this video, we take a closer look at the U.S. Manta Ray program and why this next-generation unmanned underwater vehicle is attracting so much attention around the world. Designed for long-endurance missions with minimal human involvement, it represents a major shift in naval technology. Discover how the Manta Ray could transform underwater surveillance, intelligence gathering, and autonomous operations. From its innovative design to its potential military applications, this is a look at one of the most ambitious underwater projects ever developed.
