In military technology it is always important to consider not just what a weapon is designed for but what it is also capable of. We may claim the Orca was designed for 'laying mines' but our adversaries will immediately see this as a nuclear weapon delivery system. Heck if those adversaries had this technology we would be scared of them using it for that purpose.
@@mikebikekite1 supposedly it is both nuclear powered and carries a nuclear warhead meaning its range is really unlimited or measured in years..if the weapon truly exists..it seems to at least have been developed and some submarines totally redesigned to carry and fire it, so it possibly is a real weapon.
one thing a weapon like this could do is cut undersea cables that carry internet/data etc..as well as cutting or laying mines and blowing up undersea pipelines that carry oil..both are/would be devastating. Obviously we could do this previously, but this makes it easier and you can do it unmanned and possibly at much greater depths.
Gosh let's push another unproven conspiracy theory. Isn't it strange how they always seem to be a western government but never say Chinese or Russian? Even though all these conspiracy theories seem to originate in China or Russian websites.
Besides warfare this vessel should be used to map out the deepest parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I’m sure cameras could be adapted to work on the along with lighting to help see what hasn’t been seen.
Unfortunately, it's not really going all that deep. Assuming an operational depth of 1000 feet, it would still be over 35,000 feet from the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean.
@@supergeek1418it could easily be made to reach these depths , and further mankind’s knowledge of the dark depths, but this machine is meant for mangling people not furthering their knowledge 😂😂
@@royharkins7066 Not "easily". Deep submersion research vessels are *MUCH* more difficult and expensive to build --- not to mention *MUCH* smaller.. And as to "mangling"? Unfortunately, there are some actual evil bad actors out there, who only understand force. *TRUTH*
All of the oceans have been mapped, quite extensively. We have depth sensing sonars that can reach the bottom of the ocean, wherever we care to go. No need to physically go there, if our sensors can detect it.
Imagine the research benefits something like this would provide! All of the legends of sea monsters would be put to rest or proven to be true. It’s high time that we explored the oceans,we know so little about them.
You do realize that all these "benefits" mean nothing under millions of pounds of pressures/sq inch? you can look up loads of military documents and engineering documents+ videos to find out why we haven't gone extreme deep with really big subs.
Who maintains the mechanicals? Are there AI snipes onboard? I have a hard time believing that nothing will go wrong with the unit for months at a time.
A submarine is limited by the amount of food it can carry. This UUV was inevitable. It can be parked in one place for months surveying the movement of everyone else. A mobile SOSUS with attack capabilities.
If memory serves the Ohio class SSBN was originally designed to sit on the seafloor. Ivan didn’t like it so there is a treaty that stipulates a boomer cannot sit on the seafloor. I don’t know if that treaty is still in effect.
I find fascinating the fact we know near to nothing about the Status 6, except what it might be used for (even the yeld of it's warhead is all over the place), but instead the US navy is so kind to share so much of it's "secret" weapon (from these videos we know what materials it's made of, more or less where components are placed etc)...

The hull is flat-sided, which means it cannot go very deep (e.g., designed exclusively for a littoral mission set) or, because it had no need to protect fragile human crews, it can go very, very deep by equalizing internal and external hydrostatic pressure. If it is acoustically invisible, it may have the ability to re-echo the ambient natural acoustical signature. (Noise-Cancelling + Anti-noised cancelling.) BTW, on the scale of US defensive expenditures, $242M is by no means whopping. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or George Soros could fund a fleet with what they spend on yachts.
@@CRAZYCR1T1C Agree that must be the case if it can go very deep. But, how do they pull that off from an engineering standpoint? The interior must be filled with an incompressible liquid that can still allow all the tech to function. (My best guess.)

You talked about the razorback drones, and posted a picture of the Guppy class submarine USS Razorback that the US sold to Turkey in 1970. How does one confuse the two?
I wonder how it handles drag nets. A quick net search pulls an eBay listing for a _Commercial Fishing Net 6 inch 180 mesh 1260 ft mono dark green / Premium Net_ for _$1,450.00._ At that price, if one gets snagged on the ocean floor, an unscrupulous captain might just cut it loose and string a replacement. Given that the ocean is constantly in motion, the snagged net could become unsnagged. The ebb & flow could allow the net to cut through whatever was holding it. Modern technology vs. Mesolithic technology. I hope it's been addressed, because this drone is an amazing piece of work.
The start of "WaterNet" to work with "SkyNet" for a safer tomorrow :( With if being harder and harder to meet enlistment quotas for all the military branches, this is the future. Combine all these drones with AI and then arm them with the latest weapons .....what harm could ever come from that James Cameron ?
Has anyone heard/seen/read of this new Torpedo Russia has that to me is terrifying because it's use is made more probable due lack of bomb damage. They've had for years developed a Rocket powered Torpedo that somehow blows a bubble of gas around it as it travels through the water at approx. 400 mph, it's Warhead is the Czar Bomba, a 50 to 100 megaton thermo-nuclear bomb, made to explode off the coast of a Major city drowning it in a massive tsunami
Are they showing the actual propeller blades, or is this a mock-up, to be replaced in the operational model? Because they never show the public the propeller blades on submarines in service. Only on old, obsolete and retired museum pieces - and not always, even then. Apparently, if you know the shape of the propeller blades, you can calculate the noise they make in the water and then use that to detect the subs. Or so I'm told. Another interesting point is that for decades the US Navy resisted not only acquiring and deploying Diesel-electric submarines, but also manufacturing such subs for foreign clients anywhere in the US, less the fact the US already builds such subs would be leveraged to put pressure on the navy to buy some instead of its way more costly nuclear subs. And now they are making 5 new Diesel-electric subs for the first time in like 60 years and counting.
Pretty easy to build a monopoly when there is only 3 defensive contractors competing with each other. They warned about the military industrial complex becoming too powerful. But yet nothing has happened to stop it or slow it down
impressive we need a Navy/Cost Guard missile based strategic plan bring all our assets to a 500 mile radius of our coast lines but a few of these could be a real deterrent
I guess the Navy works already on a nuclear powered version?! Look - first: there are huge advances in micro-nuclear-reactor design. Second: a big part of the complications (weight, size) of a reactor is due to the fact, that the radiation has to be contained towards the crew living space. In an autonomous vehicle, this issue doesn’t persist. Third: there are only two reasons, why the vessel has to come up tot the surface (where it is the most vulnerable): to charge the batteries and to communicate. I guess the Navy has already some hacks for the communication - but the slow charging of the batteries is a bummer. Also: without big batteries (because of the reactor), the weight and volume penalties are almost offset.
This sort of drone could be particularly useful for Taiwan's defense needs.
Excellent point! 👍😀
The Straits of Formosa are very shallow and a bad environment for full sized submarine operations.
