US tests giant ‘Manta Ray’ drone submarine for long-distance underwater missions
Story by Alexander Butler • 51m •


The US has tested a futuristic “manta-ray” style underwater drone that could one day be used for long-distance missions around the world.

The Manta Ray prototype uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) completed full-scale testing off the coast of Southern California over the last three months.
 
It was funded by the US Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) programme, and built by defence company Northrop Grumman.

Once developed, it will demonstrate a new class of long-range, payload-capable UUV’s ready for operation across seas and oceans, according to Darpa.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
