The United States Department of Defense is in the initial stages of creating unmanned drone submarines that will navigate the oceans, tracking and following enemy subs for months at a time. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is responsible for developing new military technologies, started the project because “the growing number of adversaries able to build and operate quiet diesel electric submarines is a national security threat that affects US and friendly naval operations around the world,” according to a statement on the DARPA website. Normally, anti-submarine warfare has been conducted by US Navy captains at the helm of ships, but humans will never board these drones, also known as a “Continuous Trail Autonomous Vessels,” according to Discovery News.

The subs will be able to patrol the US coastline for up to 80 days at a time covering thousands of kilometers using non-conventional sensor technologies that “achieve robust continuous track of the quietest submarine targets over their entire operating envelope,” DARPA stated on its website.

The vessel’s main task will be to patrol the waters for enemy submarines and then chase them away if located. The sub will also gather information deemed necessary by the US government, which will then be sent to US naval commanders up above on land, according to Discovery News.

The only time humans are needed to operate the unarmed drones will be to navigate the robot subs through crowded harbors.

In August, DARPA awarded a $58 million contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), which is now responsible for designing, constructing and creating a prototype of the vessel.

Marius Șerban Odată cu intrarea într-o nouă stare de criză, după ce tocmai am ieșit din una de alertă, pentru că, nu-i așa, starea de continuă criză este singura formulă prin care mai poate fi controlată cât de cât o populație debusolată, anomizată, se vântură tot felul de versiuni de proiecte de lege, prin care, […]

Cele mai multe dintre evenimentele majore ale ultimelor decenii au venit ca reactie la un eveniment precedent, de multe ori fals, o provocare menita a pregati opinia publica pentru ceea ce va urma. Comentatorii politici numesc astfel de evenimente inscenate – false flag – un steag fals. Cele mai clare exemple de atacuri inscenate sunt […]

“Alegerile” europarlamentare 2019, in fapt un jalnic exercitiu pseudoelectoral, reflecta cat se poate de clar faptul ca Romania este un stat esuat fara posibilitatea practica de a-si mai reveni. Asistam, de fapt, la o batalie intre diversele factiuni din serviciile secrete romanesti, in fapt doar niste reminiscente bolsevico-securistoide sau neomarxiste extrem de toxice, simple anexe […]

Michael Thomas “9/11 was an Anglo-American black operation executed in collusion with Israeli Secret Services and Saudi Arabian financiers.” — 9/11 Investigator. Undoubtedly the 9/11 attacks on New York City and Washington DC are the most misrepresented by officialdom in US history. Whereas the assassination of John F. Kennedy is now understood to have been […]
