Sea Hunter is an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) launched in 2016 as part of the DARPA Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel program. [2] The ship was christened 7 April 2016 in Portland, Oregon. It was designed and built by Leidos. [3]
An unmanned surface vehicle, unmanned surface vessel or uncrewed surface vessel (USV), [2] [3] colloquially called a drone boat, drone ship [4] or sea drone, is a boat or ship that operates on the surface of the water without a crew. [5] USVs operate with various levels of autonomy, from remote control [6] to fully autonomous surface vehicles ...
The unmanned surface vessel USV Nomad transiting the Pacific as part of RIMPAC 2022. Ghost Fleet Overlord is a fleet of test unmanned surface vehicles operated by the U.S. Navy. [1] Ghost Fleet Overlord is being developed by the Department of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office. [1]
The Navy took delivery of the first Orca in December, 2023. [ 5 ] The basic Orca design shares a 51 feet (16 m) length with Echo Voyager , but the Orca will incorporate a more modular construction, primarily for the capability to be built with an additional payload module of up to 34 feet (10 m) long and a capacity of 8 tonnes (8,000 kg) for a ...
The vessel is 132 ft (40 m) long, weighs 140 tons, and is expected to cost $15,000–20,000 to operate per day, compared to $700,000 per day for a destroyer. Advantages of the vessel over ship-launched USVs are that it has greater payload and endurance, and it can launch and recover at a pier rather than needing integration with a manned ship.
The Fleet-class unmanned surface vessel, also called the Common Unmanned Surface Vessel (CUSV) and later the Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MCM USV), [2] is an unmanned surface vessel designed for the United States Navy to be deployed from Freedom and Independence-class littoral combat ships [3] and intended to conduct mine and anti-submarine warfare missions.
MAGURA V5 (Maritime Autonomous Guard Unmanned Robotic Apparatus V-type) [note 1] is a Ukrainian multi-purpose unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developed for use by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine [1] (HUR) capable of performing various tasks: surveillance, reconnaissance, patrolling, search and rescue, mine countermeasures, maritime security, and combat missions.
This ship can be civilian or military. In addition to drone carriers for unmanned aerial Vehicles, there are also others for unmanned underwater vehicles and unmanned surface vehicles. As a naval vessel, a drone carrier is capable of launching and picking up combat drones without the need for large and expensive aircraft carriers.
