II set sail
The X-3 unmanned autonomous surface craft. balanced by the wing, and provide most of the power boat. Three lithium battery-powered propeller for the X-3 unmanned autonomous surface craft to provide secondary power. Thin film solar cells covering the wing and deck, the propeller can be used in power generation mode, the flow of water to recharge the battery at the same time, a 10-kilowatt diesel generators also provide support. June 2007, X-1 in the vicinity of Hawaii passed the sea trials, while the production of X-3 in preparation for proof of concept work is in the X-1 catamaran launched the prototype based on the ship,
herve leger bandage, and received seven hundred and twenty million Congress Fund. test, the results greatly exceeded our expectations. in accordance with the design requirements, X-3 under the sea state in five normal operation, the sea conditions in more than five to survive, you can stay at sea for more than three months. X-3 can carry a payload over 608 kilograms, will be able to carry weapons as carrying the same sensor. Childress said: based on the ship initially only sell products from 3.2 to 4 million dollars) that: Control and remote control technology market. Israel's Rafael, Elbit Systems and the aviation industry companies are exporting unmanned surface craft. Rafael the Toplite visible / infrared sensors and target sensors connected to the Raphael claimed that Since 2005, the Republic of Singapore Navy has also experimented with more March 2006, Embraer signed a contract worth 260 million U.S. dollars, according to the contract for the construction of coastal protection system in Nigeria, the system is mainly to include unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned surface of the water system based on unmanned craft, but does not include some platforms, radar and C2 command and control center. Since then, most of the reasons because of confidentiality agreements, there are few reports related to the recent progress, but by the end of December, according to local media reports, the Singapore National Assembly passed a motion on maritime security, no water to prepare a management implementation of maritime security boats the task of the new department. Fearing attacks by pirates, many ship owners and operators of vessels against their port calls in Singapore, so this issue is slowly maturing. Niger Delta thousands of shallow bays and the entrance, which use small boats to militant attacks on oil production facilities along the coast provides a covert channel. June 2008, 120 km from the coast to have been attacked Bonga oil platform, which indicates that Nigeria's offshore infrastructure is vulnerable to attack. 2006 Israel Aircraft Industries sold the water no boat is propeller-driven water column the way to power, this power can make the boat's cruising speed of the water no more than 83 km / hour. Search for day and night infrared / visible light sensors, sonar, and can be used for electronic support, electronic warfare, reconnaissance and electronic reconnaissance and electronic warfare suite communications. Center of its arms attack on a fixed concentration of target sensor with a separate gun seat, instead of lethal weapons including water cannons, sound player, caused by non-radioactive halo device. Israel Aircraft Industries said the open design of the water no boat makes it a variety of sensors and weapons, in accordance with the principle of plug and play integration platform to integrate into the C4I network, by moving air, sea, land or ground vehicle control station, and
Fourth, the use of unmanned surface craft experience
Elbit Systems is a leading manufacturer of water no boat, the main production of medium-sized color Marlins The company by virtue of its experience gained in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly in the stabilization, autonomous navigation and positioning technology experience in the field, the development of the two unmanned surface craft. Elbit Systems, the so-called Elbit Systems that and search and rescue missions, and the . a x6 continuous movement of the high-resolution daylight CCD camera, laser target illuminator and autonomous target tracking software. , it is within sight and the horizon can be controlled to a high degree of autonomous operation.
five different developers
ship-based, development up to 9 meters of the SAM combined with the ship. ETM said that This use of low water, medium moisture, high-speed air to produce up to shore power, the direction of increasing the stability of the hull to prevent the ship capsized. SAM said that impact. ECA company based in France, the headquarters in Germany Atlas Electronics and Rheinmetall is Europe's unmanned surface craft market leader. Last October, Atlas Electronics acquired the British Ministry of QinetiQ's underwater systems business, won three unmanned surface craft systems: one is no jet-slip boat illegal trespassers, the other two is based on Among them, the armor is used to indicate offshore target missile boats, and fast patrol boats port is used to patrol the port.
six common challenges
no other experience in the field of development of unmanned surface vessel technology makes the development easier, but the dispute left over from the original largely as common as in other areas. Such as Israel Aircraft Industries, Inc. Eshchar said, highly reliable, self-troubleshooting, capacity remains a major challenge facing the future. Elbit Systems Ben-Ami said: controller to recognize the threat. judge to sort, then no boat to boot, which accordingly requires some new direction. beginning to see groups of vehicles, they share data, common co-operation and a series of tasks to complete. They will perform different tasks, from pollution monitoring systems to non-weapons caused the formation of advanced sensors and weapons capabilities.
