The US has created an unmanned boat TSUNAMI with a range of up to 1000 nautical miles

Textron Systems (USA) has created the TSUNAMI unmanned boat (UCB) with a range of up to 1000 nautical miles. This is a rapidly deployable autonomous surface vessel.

This was reported in the press service of the manufacturer.

The new product is intended for the needs of the US Department of Defense and allied countries.

It is based on marine vehicles manufactured by Brunswick Corporation. The BEC uses gasoline as fuel. Its advantages include relative cheapness and ease of maintenance.

The TSUNAMI has a lifting capacity of 450 kilograms. There are several modifications of the boat with a hull length of 7,3; 7,6 and 8,5 meters. It is also important that hulls of this design are already being produced in large quantities.

The boat is capable of performing assigned tasks in adverse weather conditions, in particular, at sea state up to 4 points. Its maximum range can be from 600 to more than 1000 nautical miles.

This family of unmanned boats is designed for versatility in use, from maritime patrol and mine countermeasures to logistics support.

Today, autonomous naval vehicles are a rapidly developing component of naval combat operations. And each manufacturer of such equipment approaches the tasks set before it in its own way.

Currently, unmanned boats of Western manufacture are actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, operating against Russian Navy ships and coastal infrastructure.

Speed ​​over 1000 nautical miles? Does the author even read the nonsense he writes?

[knn54]

Such boats are easily detected ("stealth" is clearly absent here) by locators and by "breakers".
What is dangerous is their "flock", which includes sophisticated "dummies" to distract the means of destruction.

Correct the text, not the speed, but the cruising range! A speed of 1000 nautical miles per hour is 1850 kilometers per hour on water!!

The main thing is that despite the mistakes in the text, they have it. And we don't.

[anatolv]

The main thing is that people like you sit on their butts and wait for someone to create such a BEC, instead of taking the initiative and creating it.

Trolls just "supposedly don't understand."

In America there are a lot of civilian and service boats, launches, yachts, etc. Therefore, there are specialists, materials, and money. There is someone to create. Someone to sell to.
But we have Putin, Medvedev, Shoigu, Rogozin, Serdyukov, Abramovich, etc. But their yachts are foreign.
And in place of our shipbuilding enterprises now often: "Tsarevich Embankment" (not literally, somewhere in the Far East)
Very rare news: supposedly in Crimea they built 1 family yacht worth 50 million rubles (or 500, I don't remember)

And I hope that our underwater, unmanned, nuclear "Prometheus", capable of causing a real tsunami, are distributed in places and ready to attack.

4 points is just fresh weather. But if there are 8 points, then the weather can change in 1000 miles.

Its maximum speed can be from 600 to more than 1000 nautical miles. ---- error probably range.
