This Heavyweight Torpedo Just Passed One of the Toughest Tests in...
Submarine warfare depends heavily on one weapon: the heavyweight torpedo. Unlike missiles, which can be observed and tracked throughout much of their flight, torpedoes...
New Eavesdropping Technology Reveals Vulnerabilities in Underwater Communications
Researchers from Princeton and MIT have uncovered a method for intercepting underwater communications, challenging long-standing assumptions about the security of sonar transmissions. By using...
The Engineering Secret That Keeps Subs Under the Radar
At first glance, diesel submarines seem to defy basic physics. Diesel engines require oxygen for combustion, yet these vessels spend much of their time...
Amphibious Alligator Brings Autonomy to Maritime Logistics
Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...
When Divers and Robots Start Thinking Together
Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....
How Autonomous Sea Drones Are Extending Naval Defense Beyond the Coast
Navies are facing a growing challenge offshore: how to maintain persistent awareness and protection across vast maritime areas without tying up crewed vessels for...
Scientists Built a Tiny Diving Suit for Cyborg Cockroaches
Collapsed buildings, flooded tunnels, and debris-filled drainage systems are among the most difficult environments for search-and-rescue teams to access after natural disasters. Small ground...
The World’s First 100% Electric Patrol Boat
Marine electric vehicle technology leader Voltari has launched its latest innovation, the Patrol 26 RIB, an all-electric patrol boat designed for military, government, and...
Deeper, Quieter, Farther: The Next-Gen Missile Submarine
Maintaining a credible sea-based nuclear deterrent requires more than just advanced missiles. Submarines tasked with strategic patrols must remain undetected for extended periods while...
Underwater Drones Built for Months-Long Patrols
Modern naval forces face a persistent challenge: how to monitor vast stretches of ocean without relying on crewed submarines or costly patrol cycles. Underwater...
Smaller, Smarter, and Unmanned: A New Naval Shift
Maritime operations are becoming increasingly complex, with growing demand for persistent surveillance, extended reach, and reduced risk to personnel. Traditional submarines can provide these...
This Partnership Turns Commercial Sea Drones Into Warfighters
Naval forces are under increasing pressure to monitor vast maritime areas, protect critical sea lanes, and respond quickly to emerging threats—often with limited numbers...
A Sea Drone Just Dropped an Armed Robot Into Battle
Amphibious assaults are among the most dangerous military operations. Landing forces on a hostile shoreline typically exposes troops to artillery, machine-gun fire, mines and...
Groundbreaking Unmanned Boat Powered by Water and Solar Energy
At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, South Korean company K Watercraft introduced a revolutionary unmanned boat that utilizes water as its primary fuel source,...
Listening Beneath the Waves: A New Era in Subsea Sensing
Monitoring activity beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most complex challenges in maritime operations. Traditional sonar systems provide valuable acoustic data, but...
A New Class of Drone Carrier Takes Shape
Modern amphibious forces increasingly rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike missions, and real-time situational awareness. Traditional helicopter assault ships are limited in the...
The Drone Boat That Carries More—and Moves Faster
Naval forces are increasingly looking for ways to extend reach and firepower without exposing crews to risk. Traditional vessels offer capability but come with...
Why Navies Are Focusing on How Autonomous Vessels Are Tested, Not...
Autonomous maritime systems are advancing faster than the frameworks designed to prove they are safe. Unmanned surface vessels increasingly rely on AI-based perception to...
New Sensor Technology Helps Underwater Robots Detect and Recover From Damage
Underwater environments are notoriously demanding for electronic systems. Sensors used by divers and underwater robots must withstand pressure, moisture and constant mechanical stress while...
Iran Reveals Underground Naval Base Housing Missile Assault Boats
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) has recently unveiled a highly secure underground base that stores a fleet of missile-equipped assault boats. The revelation,...
The Robot Submarine Now Patrolling the Deep
Modern naval forces face an increasingly complex underwater picture. Quieter submarines, dense maritime traffic and the growing risk of seabed mines make persistent undersea...
The Shape-Shifting “Octo Robot” Built for Stealth
Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...
