Navy behind schedule, overbudget on robot subs
By Jonathan Lehrfeld
 Oct 5, 01:29 PM
 

The test version of the extra large unmanned undersea vehicle is reportedly set to be delivered to the Navy in Oct. (Navy)

The Navy is trying to develop five robotic submarines that can lay undersea mines, but the project is three years behind schedule and at least $242 million over its original cost estimate, according to a recent government watchdog report.

The Navy’s initiative to construct Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles, or XLUUVs, comes amid efforts to “prevent an adversary from accessing strategic waterways and entry points on land,” according to a new U.S. Government Accountability Office report.

The project, however, is not going quite as planned.

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

All these years I've thought behind schedule and over budget were SOP! :whistle:
