The Poseidon appears to be a torpedo-shaped robotic mini-submarine which can travel at speeds of 185 km/h (100 kn). [ 23 ] [ 24 ] [ 27 ] More recent information suggests a top speed of 100 km/h (54 kn), with a range of 10,000 km (5,400 nmi; 6,200 mi) and a depth maximum of 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
In 2018, Russia has released plans for a 20 to 100Mt tsunami bomb, named Status-6 or Poseidon Torpedo, which is realized as a nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed unmanned underwater vehicle with a length of about 24m. According to the plan, the Poseidon Torpedo would initiate a 500m high shockwave.
The motherships for the Poseidon underwater drones are planned to be the 09852 "Belgorod" project submarines, like the "Belgorod", and the 09851 "Khabarovsk" project submarines. [40] According to publications by the Russian state news agency TASS, the submarines can carry up to six Poseidon vehicles at once. [21] These were test launched in ...
Each DART station consists of a surface buoy and a seafloor bottom pressure recording (BPR) package that detects water pressure changes caused by tsunamis.The surface buoy receives transmitted information from the BPR via an acoustic link and then transmits data to a satellite, which retransmits the data to ground stations for immediate dissemination to NOAA's Tsunami Warning Centers, NOAA's ...
While tsunamis travel at between 500 and 1,000 km/h (around 0.14 and 0.28 km/s) in open water, earthquakes can be detected almost at once as seismic waves travel with a typical speed of 4 km/s (around 14,400 km/h). This gives time for a possible tsunami forecast to be made and warnings to be issued to threatened areas, if warranted.
A US Navy P-8 Poseidon with an AN/APS-154 attached to its belly The AN/APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor ( AAS ) is a multifunction radar installed on the P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. The radar is built by Raytheon as a follow-on to their AN/APS-149 Littoral Surveillance Radar System (LSRS).
The equations implemented in the angle solver can be found in the Torpedo Data Computer manual. [40] The Submarine Torpedo Fire Control Manual [41] discusses the calculations in a general sense and a greatly abbreviated form of that discussion is presented here. The general torpedo fire control problem is illustrated in Figure 2.
The A244/S is an Italian lightweight, fire-and-forget torpedo employed for anti-submarine warfare. It can be launched from surface vessels or aircraft and locates the target using an acoustic seeker. The torpedo body conforms to the NATO 12.75-inch (323.8 mm) standard and is compatible with USN Mark 32 torpedo tubes.
