Last week, DARPA Corporation unveiled a new unmanned ship ("Antisubmarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel", ACTUV) "Sea Hunter", which, according to the developers, will allow the US Navy to track in the ocean expanses of stealth submarines, transmits RIA News.

“ACTUV is a small vessel with a length of about 40 meters and a displacement of 140 tons. The ship can dodge obstacles and can reach speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour, ”says a report from the Business Insider portal.

According to the resource, “the vessel is equipped with a sophisticated sonar system that can detect silent submarines as well as torpedoes.” The “hunter” will transmit the received information to the control center and the closest ships of the US Navy.

Its daily operation will cost the fleet at $ 15-20 thousand. “This is very inexpensive compared to systems with a crew on board. For example, a Nimitz-type aircraft carrier’s working day costs $ 1,1 million, ”said Pentagon Deputy Head Robert Wark.

“The ship can be used in the South China Sea, in the Baltic Sea, in the Persian Gulf. It can be operated in the middle of the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. Such ships will be everywhere, ”he added.

So far, the drone has passed only some preliminary tests. Full-scale testing will begin this summer. The military expects to get the ship into service for 2018.

          A very interesting idea, actually. Small ships with a long cruising range, with huge usable space, without a crew, with a bunch of electronics on board. Plus cheap operation and savings on a live crew. If such ships are launched wherever possible, then the secrecy of submarines in the seas will decrease significantly. On the other hand, how will such ships operate in a storm? Or only for seas and coastal areas? And most importantly, how do such ships "keep" electronic warfare? As a variant of the struggle, develop electronic warfare torpedoes that will simply move behind such a ship.

            Problems with the storm are easy to solve - a sealed enclosure and self-healing during rollover. There are such boats.

            Even if I’m wrong, it’s much easier for a ship without a crew to survive the storm.

            Yes, and such a vessel is cheaper both in construction and in operation.

            This also applies to ship loss.

        and he will track the boat. Judging by the speed, he can accompany the boat constantly and monitor its position and condition

        This is the glider mine with the ammunition in the form of a torpedo. But the glider missile carrier with missiles such as C-8 or C-13 will be more versatile for hitting both such katerkov and antennas, carrier-based aircraft and other low-security elements on ships. With a simplified homing head, it will be possible to shoot at helicopters, as well as at launch / landing aircraft on aircraft carriers.

    Its daily operation will cost the fleet $ 15-20. “This is very inexpensive compared to systems with a crew on board. For example, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier costs $ 1,1 million a day, ”said Pentagon Deputy Chief Robert Work.


    We compared a drone with a displacement of 140 tons to a floating city-airfield in 100.000 tons. It is stupid almost 1000 times more. A thousand times, Karl!

    There is one crew for 5680 people. Even if feeding each crew member from the captain to the last sailor of the Nimitz, each pilot and aircraft mechanic will cost no more than 10 bucks a day, they will simply digest at least $ 50.000 in their stomachs a day. Apart from anything else.
    This is called - manipulation.
    With the same success, you can compare a car DVR with a Hollywood movie studio.

      Robotics is the future. Naturally, at first it will hang out near its shores and under the cover of "senior" ships, but after a while the Americans will take care of changing the Law of the Sea, and then it will hardly be so easy to step on board, let alone capture.
      The only alternative to such "hunters" is new types of gliders: mines, launch vehicles, GA-buoys, etc. As well as robotic sailing unmanned catamarans (RPBK), which can perform almost all the functions of a given hunter, but just not chasing a submarine, but drifting each in its square and passing it (PL) "from hand to hand" over the network. But this will require a huge number of them (both gliders and RPBK) in order to close the main directions, straits and combat alert zones of enemy submarines. Fortunately, their cost and operating costs will be insignificant in comparison with such "hunters" or helicopters.

          There is nothing eternal, but much more fragile little boats crossed the oceans. I’m not Thor Heyerdahl to prove it again, but the big ships are also sinking - let's stop using the ships at all.
          And the storms in 6 will withstand points, do not hesitate - I did not speak in vain about the complete absence of such structures at present - analogues my RPACs and glazers no, at RPAC had to sacrifice maximum speed in order to increase survivability.
          There are a lot of unique things, here I am looking for partners for patenting and production.

      Well, you know, even such dense amateurism should have its limits.
      Worth it. It is worth while a lot of work. Make at least a model drone. Only a real robot, i.e. without your usual remote control. To choose the reaction to changes in the environment. This, my dear, is the elements of AI so hated by all. Auto target detection - read pattern recognition. And not only optical, but also radar, and sonar, and God knows which ones. And then also selection of targets using incomplete data, and also navigation not only by GPS, but also by natural physical landmarks - the Earth’s magnetic field shone in the sky. And these are only obvious things. And how much more is there inside t.s. usual? And the engine must be made to work for months without maintenance. So that no one refills oil, or oil seals check, nothing. And this is in the sea, where there is a storm, wind, pitching, humidity up to 100% and temperature differences.
      I repeat - the task for engineers is complex and even very difficult.

        That's right, that's why I took the path of creating my own robotic sailing catamaran, completely abandoning the anthropological control of the sail, winch, etc. - the very concept of "robot" already implies the rejection of humanoid devices. This is the only way to make it cheaper, easier, and more reliable if the mechanism is adjusted to performance of functions, not the convenience of operating it with a person.
        But like any compromise, this also requires sacrifice (in speed, for example). But for the mass production of RPBC - in hundreds of thousands of copies, the main thing: price and cost of operation.

        It's not about nuclear explosions. EW (electronic warfare) means cut down electronics no worse. Shielding, if it helps, is not strong. I had one friend who worked in this industry (blessed memory of him). so he believed that in the event of a serious war, all parties use such funds in full. Just out of fear that the adversary has something that they don’t know about. Of course, it won’t reach stone axes, but you will have to forget about high technologies for a while ...

          In the case of electronic warfare, it is necessary to bring the same noise interference power to receiver signals from this Aktuv, he himself can act automatically and through optical / sonar channels - while his task is finding, tracking and transmitting data about submarines. And to put EW you need to keep the noise source near Aktuv - and this is also money, etc. - what is the asymmetry of the answer? We will no longer catch up with the United States in terms of the number of ships, or planes, or bases around the world ...

But when the distance became about 12 km, the Su-24 electronic warfare showed its power. Will he be allowed to approach such a distance in wartime ?!

                Electronics "Donald Cook", as far as I'm aware, was disabled by the coastal system. Su-24 flew out for photographing. As for the detection of an aircraft 300 km away, the American destroyer does not have such powerful radar systems. I don’t engage in shapkozakidatelstvo and what was 41 - I remember. But! Several years ago, the Swedish Armed Forces conducted tests of a Soviet electronic warfare missile of the 1968 model, which they got from somewhere. And they themselves admitted that its impact on the air defense system is catastrophic.

                    The British destroyer Sheffield was sunk by an Exocet missile with a launch range of 30 km. The missile was detected already on approach - visually. All that his captain managed to do was to command "Cover!" Of course, a lot of time has passed since the conflict in the Falklands, but I would not exaggerate the capabilities of shipborne radars.

      Not all, not always. And not just nuclear explosions. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is one of the damaging factors of a nuclear explosion. Not only, but also significant. And protection from him is also there.

    Hey smart guys, did any of you go 10 points? Sit there in the swamps of the Central Russian lowlands and broadcast. Ships of thousands of tons with experienced crews are clogged in the bays, and even additional anchors lead there in the bays. And how does this slow-pushed side boat flow, or the fastening beam is deformed, or a gust of wind of 12 m per second on the crest of a wave 50m high in the bottom of the boat, and then immediately the second 15m high, and it’s birthmark at a speed of 50 km per hour or all 15? Ocean, dear wiseacres, this is not the Volga - Mother. I live from birth on the shore, I have walk experience, but the year before last I got it like that, I thought everything, and it was 300 meters to the shore. And about the electronic mind you can crawl as much as you like.

        That's right, and the glider will descend on 30-50m and wait out the storm in absolute silence.
        But this will probably already be the next stage of development: a fully submerged robotic vessel with a protruding snorkel above the water. They now need to work out automation and navigation, which is more convenient to do above the surface.
        They allocate money for these trinkets, let 1 from 5 be brought to mind - but experience is gained. We have all the money in Moscow and are settling, no matter what ..

    Before flooding their coastal seas and the oceans with their hunters, amerikos will have to change the Law of the Sea. For on it a ship without a crew is nobody's. Those. whoever met him at sea picked him up.
    In past. In the accident of the Soviet submarine (I can’t remember the number), the crew was evacuated to a towing ship. The Americans insolently tried to break the cable. For a boat without a crew is a draw. Fortunately, the captain remained on the submarine. And they would not succeed and would be considered a seizure.
