USVs and UUVs in the future: smaller, cheaper and more autonomous
Dr. Morel Gruper of Haifa University: “autonomous unmanned submarines will be put into action in order to monitor natural phenomena such as hurricanes, oil spillages in bays and harbors, working in oil and gas fields, underwater surveys, mine sweeping, SIGINT (Signals Intelligence), EW (Electronic Warfare), anti-submarine warfare, stealth deployment of various charges, and also marine archeology, marine biology and so on.”Eyal Shahrabani, IAI: “USVs will carry out search and destroy missions in rough seas and will become an integral part of the cooperation between manned and unmanned systems.” Dr. Noam Brook, RAFAEL: “USVs have both military and paramilitary applications, such as opening up routes for civilian shipping and navy vessels, counter mining operations, ongoing security, counter terror and search and rescue missions.” Posted by: Ulaitle Glearong5012 2014-12-10 |
