In February, 2016 in the United States will begin testing anti-submarine ship capable of operating without crew
The American anti-submarine ship, capable, according to the American media, of operating without a crew, has a length of approximately 40 m.drone"was commissioned by DARPA - the Office of Advanced Research Programs of the main US military department. The main work was carried out by Leidos specialists.
The working name of the anti-submarine ship is ACTUCV. The abbreviation in Russian stands for "Automatic vessel for continuous anti-submarine surveillance." The name suggests that the ship should not be used directly to destroy submarines, although the developers say that the ACTUCV does have the function of carrying certain weapons.
Representatives of the company "Leidos" report that their anti-submarine brainchild will be significantly cheaper than maintaining, for example, a destroyer. If the average destroyer from the US budget is allocated up to 0,7 million dollars daily, then no more than 15 thousand dollars can be allocated for the ACTUCV.
On the effectiveness of the detection and likely destruction of submarines, the developers of ACTUCV do not yet apply.
