Overview

What it is.

A larger uncrewed submersible built to operate independently at sea for extended periods without surfacing.

System role

Where it fits.

It holds a maritime area under observation over long periods, without a surface vessel needing to stay on station.

Configuration

Configure system.

Larger, so more of the configuration is internal: how much of the hull is sensors, how much is power, how long it is meant to stay out. The platform itself is unchanged.

Context

In this context: Arctic and open-ocean research, long-duration route monitoring.

Configurable

  • Sensor share of the hull
  • Power share of the hull
  • Intended time at sea

Deployment

  • Maritime
  • Remote

Scope

What it is not.

It is not armed and carries no effector. Sustained presence here means sustained observation.
