Hydroid has delivered its first new generation Remus 100 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to the Naval Oceanographic Office.
The Remus AUV is able to be fitted with a variety of sensors to aid in hydrographic surveys, harbour security operations, debris field mapping, scientific sampling and mapping operations.
The new generation Remus 100 AUV features advanced technology and capabilities, enabling customers to have increased autonomy and capability during missions. These include advanced core electronics, a flexible navigation suite with a conformal Doppler Velocity Log and an open architecture platform for advanced autonomy.
Duane Fotheringham, president of Hydroid, said: ‘This is an exciting time for unmanned underwater technology and we are proud to play a major role in the market with our Remus line of AUVs.
‘The evolution of the Remus 100 is a testament to the sustainability and longevity of our AUVs and our ability to maintain our core offering, while also integrating the latest, cutting-edge technologies.’
As the dynamics of aerial combat rapidly evolve, Chinese scientists have engineered a sophisticated air separation drone model that can fragment into up to six drones, each capable of executing distinct battlefield roles and challenging the efficacy of current anti-drone defences such as the UK’s Dragonfire laser system.
Advancements in air defence technologies have begun to reshape aerial combat dynamics in the Middle East, as illustrated by recent events involving the Israeli Air Force and Hezbollah.
Both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war have been using UAS for effective low-cost attacks, as well as impactful web and social media footage. Thousands more have now been committed to Ukrainian forces.
The US Army has intentions to develop light, medium and heavy variants of the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) as part of the branche’s Next Generation Combat Vehicle family.
DroneSentry-X, a cross-vehicle compatible, automated 360° C-UAS detect and defeat device, can offer 360° awareness and protection using integrated sensors. According to its manufacturer, it is suitable for mobile operations, on-site surveillance and on-the-move missions.
Funded by the country’s former president, the new C-UAS systems will be sent to the frontline where they have already been tested against Russian invading forces.
