The answer to modern Russian submarines: the United States is developing underwater drones

103

American deep sea drones can create serious trouble for Russian submarines. Defense News writes about the prospects for the creation of unmanned aerial vehicles of the US Navy.

Underwater drone development controversy: Congress vs Navy


The command of the US Naval Forces has instructed in the near future to develop a comprehensive strategy for the deployment and use of unmanned systems in the air, on water and under water. Admiral Michael Gilday, head of the US Navy's Marine Operations Division, spoke in an interview with Defense News about a new family of unmanned systems - ultra-large, large and medium-sized underwater vehicles operating at depth, surface unmanned vessels and unmanned aerial vehicles.



The desire of the naval command to develop a program for the use drones in the US Congress, however, they consider it too hasty, since new technologies have not yet been developed that would make it possible to make the projects of naval engineers a reality. At the same time, the Navy and the US Department of Defense believe that it is necessary to accelerate towards the creation of drones in order not to disturb the existing balance with China. After all, Beijing, as you know, is also very actively working in this direction.

The US Congress even announced its readiness to limit any funding for purchases of large unmanned surface ships until the naval command is able to provide lawmakers with evidence of the development of an appropriate hull, mechanical and electronic equipment, allowing the device to operate autonomously for at least 30 days in a row.

Also in the US Congress they believe that the Navy should provide a reliable operating system with functionally integrated surveillance systems, electronic warfare, etc. Consequently, the American fleet in a sense, hands are tied. Congressmen, in turn, assure that they are trying to protect the command of the Navy from possible mistakes.

Drones are becoming an important weapon of the US Navy


The US Navy claims that the concept of operations using underwater drones will be presented in the fall of 2020. One of the important tasks, according to Admiral Gildey, will be to complicate the aimed fire of the enemy on American ships.

The answer to modern Russian submarines: the United States is developing underwater drones

Unmanned vehicle Echo Voyager


The development and construction of underwater drones is of great strategic importance to the United States. According to the assumptions of a number of experts, one of the most important tasks for underwater drones will be the confrontation with the Russian "tsar-torpedo" - the Poseidon underwater vehicle, which brings real terror to American sailors. It is the US Navy that today is the key curator of the development of most of the unmanned systems, which, as it were, hints at the priority of using drones at sea: above water and under water.

In February 2019, the American company Boeing received a contract for the construction of unmanned submarines Echo Voyager. In addition, in a recent interview with The Drive, the head of marketing at AeroVironment, Steve Gitlin, spoke about another interesting project: the Swithblade drones, which will be launched from American submarines from a special device, somewhat reminiscent of a conventional mortar. Such drones will be used for both reconnaissance and strike purposes, and the submarine will not need to rise to the surface and detect itself to launch them.

Of course, there is a certain threat from the use of drones under water. It consists in the fact that a large number of drones can literally paralyze the activities of enemy submarines, using their numerical advantage. However, there is no doubt that Russia, and China as well, will present their own response to American unmanned systems.

The increased attention of the American naval command to drones indicates that in the foreseeable future, the US Navy will focus on underwater drones, with which they expect to obtain information about the movements of ships and submarines of a potential enemy, and, if necessary, destroy any moving enemy objects.

        As folklore says - "For every cunning nut there is a threaded bolt"! Take a vulgar torpedo, shove a piece of artificial intelligence there and voila - the simplest underwater drone is ready for work and defense! Or you can stir up a tandem - a silent torpedo can be added to the "Shkval" and equipped with AI. Silently prowls around and wiggles artificial brains, looking for the enemy, and when he is found, the "Shkval" turns on with his speed and makes the enemy years torn out! However, there is a design bureau - let them have fun!

        You know, I've changed myself. In 79, at the military school, I knew that a nuclear war was not ruled out. And like many military men, I just got used to not thinking about her. Now I am her not afraid!!! I do not exclude a single explosion (but not in the capital), after which all those in power on both sides feverishly rush to save their way of life and "grind the problem."

              Dear offended dauria,
              1. The 2nd Shock Army is not Vlasov's army, but a combination of the Red Army, the USSR army, fighting against fascism, against the Wehrmacht army. Vlasov's army is exactly what I wrote about above, an army of traitors to the Motherland, Fatherland, fighting against its people on the side of its worst enemy. Consider that your attempt to disguise and rehabilitate Vlasov, traitors to Russia, the people of Russia, has failed.
              If you are mistaken in the wording, then correct what you have written so that you are not mistaken for liberals ... who defend Vlasov and traitors to their Motherland, their Fatherland.
              here on the site "poking" is not accepted

              2. All traitors to the Motherland, Russia for me - only "you", as in the old joke ", here's another, I will all the bastard on" you "call.

                Vlasov commanded her at the time of surrender of 30 thousand people. And it's not about justification, but about the fact that "an army without a head is nothing." How it would have been, if it weren't for Khozin and Vlasov, now one can only guess.

                  1. No need to dodge if you are caught by the tail. Another attempt to justify the traitors - Vlasov and others like him - did not slip through ...
                  2. Commanding an army does not mean that the army has become the army commander. Vaughn, Kutuzov M.I. either Bagration or Barclay de Tolly also commanded the army, but it was not their army, but the Russian army, the army of the Russian Empire, Russia.
                  3. Already written above

                  Vlasov himself and some of his officers, as well as some of the soldiers of the 2nd Shock Army, who were completely surrounded, went over to the side of the Nazis. At the same time, thousands of soldiers and officers continued to fight against the Germans in complete encirclement, and some of them managed to break through to their own. Then the 2nd Ud. Army was restored and fought as part of the Red Army throughout the War. Well, how and from whom the personnel for the ROA Vlasov was recruited in the German rear is a completely different story. Vlasov is a banal coward, who was afraid to shoot himself and could not command the Army in the conditions of the encirclement.

        There is a difference - our Poseidon with YSU is a means of attack with a wide range of range, depth and speed, their whistles / modifications of the Orca type with a diesel generator and the corresponding performance characteristics are just a means of defense with a negative result in advance, since:
        - the defense is built on hydroacoustic listening to the depths of the sea, but no one prohibits the delivery of 40-ton Poseidons under the keel of civilian ships to the Cuban region, after which they switch to a silent, motorless rafting along the Gulf Stream along the entire Atlantic coast of the United States with the seabed positions for attack by a non-motorized method (water intake into the ballast tank), if necessary, perform routine maintenance every few years "Poseidons" simply displace water from the ballast tank and by non-motorized rafting along the Gulf Stream I swim to our Bear Island in the Barents Sea, SOSUS and GAS "Orok" remain out of business;
        - the Pacific coast of the United States also has its own currents:
        - against the active hydroacoustic search, there is a GAS with a film antenna operating in antiphase and turning the UAV into an absolute stealth.

        So Orok cards are beaten in any quantity - something that the US Congress tried to convey to the lobbyists for the development of America's defense submarine fleet.

        PS To destroy the entire industry and settlements of North America (shock wave and radioactive contamination) to a depth of 700 km from the coast of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, only a hundred Poseidons with 100-Mtn three-stage thermonuclear charges on board (plutonium - lithium deuteride - uranium 238).
        Plus a hundred more Poseidons to cause similar damage to China, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa and South America.
        Europe, Japan and both Koreas will have to deal with MRBMs and GKR with less powerful charges due to the threat of radioactive contamination of our territory.

      The situation is as follows: the ams have an underwater observation system - stationary and mobile in the form of DGAN ships. And drones are a means of dealing with our submarine forces: submarines (of all classes) and non-aerial vehicles of all types (if, of course, they are detected).
      Therefore, it is difficult to throw hats under water on the Yankees ...
      Pay attention to the text of the article:
      the Navy and the US Department of Defense believe that accelerating towards the creation of drones is necessary so as not to upset the existing balance with China. After all, Beijing, as you know, is also very active in this direction.

        With the non-motorized movement of the Poseidons downstream with the operation of the GAS in antiphase to the external hydroacoustic radiation, the indicated RVs will be undetectable by any sound controllers and sonars.

        The 40-ton displacement and titanium hull reduce the Poseidon's magnetometric detection range to 100-200 meters.

        Along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America, there are routes of intensive maritime shipping; there are also fishing areas with the use of small trawlers and seiners, i.e. the coastal ocean zones are a soup with thousands of dumplings, among which the Poseidons will be undetectable even when under the engine (at low speed, of course).

        The ocean floor beneath the areas of intense maritime shipping and fishing is literally littered with the hulls of ships that have sunk over five centuries, which are ideal cover for the bottom-basing of Poseidons close to targets on the North American coast.

          And if, instead of a mega-warhead, place SLBMs on the Poseidon. One. It is possible to specifically develop a smaller rocket, because the task of getting the United States out of our inner seas is not set for them - due to the carrier's undetectability. And then, instead of giant SSBNs, which graze mattresses very tightly, there will be a swarm of drones with missiles that can get lost without a trace in the world's oceans, and, on command, fire a volley. By the way, in this situation, the vaunted American missile defense system is devalued, because the attack will be from all angles and from a minimum distance.

            Chip "Poseidon" - 100-Mtn warhead. An SLBM capable of delivering such a warhead weighing 10 tons will itself weigh about 400 tons - an order of magnitude more than Poseidon. Plus a launch shaft with service units. As a result, Poseidon will turn into a mid-size submarine with a displacement of 1000 tons with a multiple drop in speed / depth of immersion and an increase in its physical fields.

            Why does Poseidon turn from a stealth machine to a regular submarine?

              You read inattentively.
              A missile with a 150 Mt warhead is not needed. Let its combat load be similar to the Bulava, while the missile itself may be even more compact, since it should be launched in the immediate vicinity of the American coast. Then, instead of one SSBN with 20 missiles, which the mattresses graze and with a high probability will be destroyed in preparation for launch, there will be 20 hard-to-detect drones with one missile, capable of being qualitatively lost in the ocean and suddenly hitting from a pistol distance, leaving the missile defense time for a reaction.

              Stealth and displacement had nothing to do with it, they found based on the recording of internal explosions received by the sokus and on the interception of encrypted messages from the submarine. It was not possible to decipher them, but the submarines were so strictly organized that they sent these messages at the exit from the coastal waters of Kamchatka, when crossing the date change line and at a longitude of 180. The squeak and whistle during the transmission of micropulses for each boat was slightly different and they could be identified by these posts. The Americans outnumbered us in quench and low noise and rubbed at our borders and in the territorial waters, and when a message came from one of the spying submarines that the Soviets had become more active and drove the ships in search of something, then the thought of a disaster crept in. And when it was discovered by radio interception that a micro-pulse did not come from one of the Soviet submarines from a longitude of 180, although it should be scheduled, and from the sokus they received information about the explosions, then everything immediately became clear, they found it quite quickly. Ours did not find her at all and did not even know where to look.

            It would seem that the practical application of the strategy of network-centric warfare has shown low results in conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, where military methods have not brought the expected results. However, it should be borne in mind that this strategy is not designed for confrontation with partisan units. It is conceived as a means of achieving swift victory over a relatively equal military organization.


            These are five, of course, fighting with informals in unloading, which do not really have air defense or electronic warfare. Filled up everything you can. And with an equal opponent they will certainly win ?! Well, roughly equal .. laughing .. Isn't it funny yourself? And what will happen to network-centric wars with the massive use of electronic warfare by the enemy, anti-satellite systems. And other delights? AND?

            NATO's 1999 operation in Yugoslavia showed that the stake on non-contact warfare is paying off.

            Enchanting idiocy. For a second, we are talking not just about superiority, but, in principle, overwhelming. The Serbs had exactly 1 squadron of generation 4 fighters, partially out of order. And then the results do not shine like that ...

                    moreover, she went so far that it is already obvious that this is only a matter of time, no one says that everything is lost, but now the likelihood that they will receive total domination in the military sphere is very high,


                    In general, it is zero .. And even without options .. What is zero you know? I just gave you an analogy with Reagan's Star Wars? Those who do not know history are simply doomed to repeat it ..

        In fact, Russia no longer lags behind in this area. Uranium 6 Uray 9 Knight Poseidon Harpsichord 2P Cephalopod Altius Okhotnik and other devices confirm this.

    Let them dream. The control of an underwater drone can also be intercepted, the ultrasonic signal can be distorted or replaced.

    The future belongs to drones and the one who ignores this truth is a fool. With the speed of technology development in the West, we will lag more and more behind. Time is against us. Accordingly, the time of a submarine with a crew in its current form is at most 30-40 years, and then an order of magnitude another level of AI. We have no prerequisites for a leap and are not foreseen, because no one in power is vitally interested in this. These people are either with two citizenships, or representatives of Western Capital, or represent
    the interests of peoples who are not state-forming.

    The answer to modern Russian submarines: the United States is developing underwater drones
    Ty, I'm in trouble too.
    For all sorts of drones, you can create ANTIdrones.
    For us, the sea is not the main transport medium; for us, the land environment is sufficient.
    But if we fill all the seas and oceans with cheap sea mines (including deep-sea ones), so much so that not a single tanker or dry cargo ship can sail, then we will posiotry. wassat how it will be fun to live there behind a puddle. laughing
