Amphibious Vessels

Amphibious operations remain one of the more complex military challenges. Moving troops and equipment from ship to shore requires platforms that can operate reliably...

Diesel-electric submarines are cheap, incredibly quiet, easily produced, and pose a great threat to US Naval supremacy. Their travel range is limited, as is...

Monitoring activity beneath the ocean surface remains one of the most complex challenges in maritime operations. Traditional sonar systems provide valuable acoustic data, but...

Modern frigate construction program

Undersea threats are becoming harder to counter. Modern torpedoes are faster, quieter, and more capable of adjusting their course mid-run, leaving ships with very...

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...

The Australian Navy has tested a new LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) drone designed to support amphibious operations. The drone performed bathymetric and littoral light...

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...

Naval forces have long faced a persistent challenge: maintenance delays that keep critical vessels out of operation for extended periods. Inspections of hulls, decks,...

The U.S. Navy has tested and deployed the AeroVironment RQ-20B Puma, a small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) aboard a Flight I Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile...

Drone threats at sea are becoming more frequent and harder to manage. Small, low-cost UAVs can be launched in large numbers, forcing naval forces...

With the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center, the US Department of Defense 3D-printed the world's largest prototype logistics vessel. The Marine Corps...

The world's vast oceans and seas offer seemingly endless spaces in which adversaries can maneuver undetected. The U.S. military deploys networks of manned and...

Underwater operations present a persistent challenge for both humans and machines. Visibility is often limited, communication is constrained, and navigation can quickly become uncertain....

Naval mines remain one of the most persistent threats in maritime security. Relatively inexpensive and easy to deploy, they can disrupt shipping lanes, block...

China has unveiled the world's most powerful amphibious assault vehicle that can travel at high speeds both on land and water, according to the...

An unnamed US firm has approached Japanese Mitsubishi Heavy (MHI) for a possible partnership to develop an armored vehicle. Hisakazu Mizutani, the head of MHI's...

NATO’s Center for Maritime Research and Experimentation, based in La Spezia, Italy, has revealed an ability it has been working on for quite some...

The U.S. Air Force is reportedly fast-tracking the development of an amphibious version of the C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft. Renderings of the finished...

Modern naval forces are under growing pressure to project power while remaining difficult to detect. As long-range precision weapons become more widespread, large surface...

Modern naval planning is increasingly shaped by speed and scale. Building new warships takes years, while crises can unfold in weeks or days. For...

Transmitting information between underwater and airborne systems has long posed a technical challenge. Sound behaves very differently in water compared to air due to...
