Unmanned submersible overview

Unmanned submersibles (UUV) are also known as unmanned submersibles, unmanned underwater vehicles, and unmanned underwater vehicles. UUV uses its own sensors and weapons to perform a series of important military support tasks such as remote communication relay, anti-submarine warning, underwater reconnaissance and surveillance, and anti-mine. As a maritime force multiplier, UUV has a wide range of important military uses and has an irreplaceable role in future naval battles. With the development of UUV and related technologies, UUV has been used to perform tasks such as mine clearance, reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and ocean exploration. It can also be used as an underwater weapon platform and logistics support platform in future naval battles. UUV is mainly divided into two types: remote-controlled underwater vehicle (ROV) and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The cable or cable is towed behind the ROV and is controlled by personnel. AUV comes with energy, adopts autonomous control mode, flexible and convenient, and can be widely used in reconnaissance/monitoring, intelligence collection, tracking, early warning, communication relay, underwater attack and so on.

Main UAV submersible model

Since the beginning of the 21st century, more than 1,000 UUVs of various uses in more than 10 countries have been put into military or civilian fields.

UAV submersible

U.S. military UUV is at the world's leading level. In the 1990s, the United States developed a scientific and technological plan for the development of UUV, and proposed a recent development plan for the Mine Reconnaissance System (NMRS) and the Long-Range Reconnaissance System (LMRS), among which NMRS was in 1998. In the year, it was officially served as a standard equipment for attacking nuclear submarines. In 2000, the US Navy proposed the development plan for UUV before 2030. The plan identifies seven missions of UUV for military applications (intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance (ISR), anti-mine (MCM), meteorology and oceanography, auxiliary communications and navigation, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), autonomous weapons platforms , logistical support and replenishment) and four operational capabilities (maritime reconnaissance capabilities, underwater search and measurement capabilities, auxiliary communication/navigation capabilities and submarine tracking and tracking functions), depicting the development blueprint for UUV before 2030. In 2004, the US Navy announced a new UUV development plan, proposing nine missions, including intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance (ISR), anti-mine measures, anti-submarine warfare, observation and identification, oceanography, communications, and navigation network nodes ( CN3), load transport, intelligence warfare and time sensitive target strike (TCS).

UUV of the US Navy's future unmanned fleet

In order to accomplish the above-mentioned multi-faceted maritime combat missions, the US military has proposed the development of four different levels of UUV.

Here are a few common UUVs.

1. Giant UUV - Manta

MANTA is a giant UUV that was developed in the United States at the beginning of this century. The following picture shows the "Manta I" unmanned submersible under test. It is usually part of the submarine, and it can be used on the submarine or left the submarine to complete the combat mission independently. After completing the mission, you can return to the parent boat to accept the new mission. The US Navy plans to load four MANTAs on future submarines. Each MANTA can be loaded with weapons such as torpedoes, missiles, or mines. Its modular design changes its configuration at any time depending on the task. MANTA is usually conformed to the submarine and installed in the crotch of the boat. At this time, the submarine can directly use MANTA's weapons and sensors. When MANTA leaves the mothership to complete the task independently, the original MANTA position is filled to ensure that the submarine's hydrodynamic characteristics and noise characteristics are not greatly affected.

MANTA test chart

The initial design of MANTA is up to 50 tons each, and each MANTA can carry 4 heavy torpedoes. Another important feature of MANTA is its advanced underwater sensors and the use of many state-of-the-art technologies such as piezoceramic transmitters, high-pressure hydrophones, high-density multi-channel recorders, boat-borne electronics and advanced Processing algorithm. MANTA's speed is 4.5-10kn, with high-precision navigation capability, underwater acoustic communication and radio communication capabilities, and low-speed navigation. Seabed topography and depth can be obtained by equipped side-scan sonar, with the ability to detect mines and obstacles, providing the mother boat with detailed information on the numerous underwater combat spaces. Launching weapons from MANTA is a key technology being addressed. In short, MANTA can accomplish a variety of tasks undertaken by UUV, especially in the shallow waters to carry out underwater attacks to the enemy.

Cloth Pen Nib

Product categories of Cloth Pen Nib, it is belong to Passive Stylus Pen. Passive stylus pen is characterized by being cheap and without charging. But compared with the active capacitive stylus pen, its tip diameter is larger, so it cannot be used in works with high precision. Using high-quality conductive cloth head, smooth contact with the screen.
