You know what this is? This is almost exactly what the ORIGINAL Littoral Combat Vessels were supposed to be! Instead of the $500 million/hull fiasco, the intention was to have 500 $1 million vessels running around, networked and, bluntly, expendable with crews of 5-8 on the “hub” boats and 0-5 folks on the spoke boats depending on the armament package and mission threat level. How do I know? I was at the first 3 conferences setting the mission, then, everyone with a rice bowl showed up and the good idea fairies started doing meth and BAM! a shit ton of wasted shipbuilding dollars.

What is to keep an enemy from boarding this unmanned ship and taking control of it or stealing it etc? They could examine the software and get a lot of knowledge for free
I thought the same thing as soon as I started watching. It seems that this vessel is worth far more to hijack rather than put it out there for anyone to steal.
So, what does it do when China decides to board it as an unmanned "hazard to navigation" or slaps a short chained anchor on one side of it so it does 360s till we get to it.
Comparing the sea ghost to a destroyer in terms of cost/day is ludicrous . The capabilities between the two are night and day. I don't see how this type of vehicle is of a war fighting craft unless it is completely buttoned up so that it can not be hijacked.
A couple of them have already been stolen out at sea by Iran I believe. They just pulled up next to them & tied up to them then towed them to their ports.
@@johnbrinsfield932those were Saildrone autonomous vessels. Powered by a rigid wing sail and solar/battery for electronic information gathering but slow and lazy.
I feel like I’d really enjoy a monthly hosted round table discussion with the Dark Docs host/founder, Alex from Sandbox News, and Tyler from The War Zone.

The problem is autonomous Navy vessels keep being seized by strategic and economic enemies like Iran due to the violation of international law. Specifically the maritime law that requires any vessel to maintain at least 1 crew member while operating. So…..
At 36.38, the animation depicts deployment of a weapons carrier from the Orca. What if the carrier contained missiles or torpedos? Now that would be a game changer in a near peer conflict.
It isn't surprising at all that China is copying the Sea ghost and Orca as they always so with all other innovations started in the west. They tend to make identical copies and then act like it was an original idea or look. The difference depends on how well the copies are made.
AI programs may seem exciting at this moment, but if a satellite 🛰 took control of its program, it could be used against us. No computer control program can't be overridden.
I'm sure it has the capability to disconnect from external signals, being that it is intended to be autonomous. It could also be programmed to never do certain things no matter what commands are given. But in any case, it has no weapons.
Skynet thanks you for your commitment to all autonomous A.I. controlled military equipment. It promises to put it all to good use in it's upcoming war on all -humans- ........ enemies
What concerns me is the capture of the vessle (USS PUEBLO). Foreign countries have no respect for sovevereignty. Mind you, the US is no better. However, I recall the north korea incident USS Pueblo. N. korea suffered very little in the wake of their thievery other than some useless sanctions. Compare that to the massive intelligence & technology trove.... Hey great video, great contect. Thank you!!!
It always interests me how the military states the daily cost to operate a ship. The biggest costs are crew, food and fuel. Crew cost should not be included in the calculation as service members pay are a fixed cost whether or not they are at sea.
The Colombian class & dreadnought class nuclear ballistic subs were a joint developed project as well as the new trident missile & the only difference between the new subs is the stealth tiles used on the outside of the subs as the British developed a type of tile & coating that it didn't share with the US as it was classed as a classified technology project which made it part of the national security laws & the government wudnt allow the technology transfer
My design for an sdv would smoke the ever loving heck everything I'm seeing here, period, for some reason, I would want to build it with Lockheed Martin
The Columbia is only $132 million? Clearly a mistake. Maybe $132 Billion for the program, but that even seems low. The Seawolf subs were about $3-4 Billion a copy. At $132 million, we need 100 of them 😉🤣🤣
Directed EMP is all you need to defeat it. How to deliver it? Now that might be a problem. AI on THIS vessel? OK. ... on one that is armed.... PELIGRO, baby!
How funny. "You don't want to be using a joystick in obstacle avoidance"... like he's still in Atari 2600 days, when AI has moved soooo far from there.
The SEAL warriors are of a different breed. I would loveeee to know the incredible secret technologies they have 😢 And ddayyyuuummm.......dude was lightning fast, and oowerful, underwater pretty much punching that dude and ripping his mask off 0_o 😳 @13:26
It's funny never hear "how can we make things cheaper for Americans like houses, school, healthcare" from government but always hearing "oh I think we can cut the price of our nukes by 30%, our missiles by at least 15% and we can make drones advanced yet cheap enough it's not a big deal if we lose a few"
Yes there are absolutely zero government funded affordable housing grants and or requirements, there has never been action taken on student debt relief, and certainly no act that sought to address the cost of healthcare - like, some sort of “affordable care act” /sarcasm Also - who do you think pays for defense budget? Keeping it down does theoretically leave more money available for programs like those. A strange point you make indeed. Ignorant, troll, or foreign propaganda?
@@itmaybeokay not sure if you read my post right I never said they do nothin I said you never hear them actively saying it, I know there are plenty of programs and section 8 and all that. But wasn't really talking about low income housing in the first place.

While it may have and be the Shi,* in terms of what it is it's still vulnerable do to it's surface profile. If like the New Manta Ray undersea silent vessel it's now behind the curve.
If this is actually a Diesel, it will be totally useless in any sub-hunting. We did some surveillance work, and Diesels are discoverable from dozens-to-hundreds of miles. Any competent enemy will use it as a "rabbit" and use it for cover. Our subs do this also.
@@fredmanicke5078 We actually had an an WW2 Minesweeper as one of our standard go-to-sea service vessels. It was indeed WOOD, but it did have various machinery, and some "added" stuff for black-shop missions. The retired Seals used the same Zodiacs as they did in-service. Above the surface this ship was easily discoverable since it had all of the required commercial badging. Underwater however, it went to several places with the crew, that have yet to be made public. We harvested nukes, stole stuff, replaced stuff, made fake stuff, and also had great seafood anytime anyone wanted it. Most of the guys got sick of seafood, and burgers were a "special treat" when they happened. Also nobody wanted to eat anything that the cooks made in Korea. The un-cleanliness was just appalling. How they keep their population alive is still a miracle to us. Feces were rampant in food prep areas, fish chopped for food on the poop-decks, where they went to shit over the boats, only saving grace was that it was mostly fried, so probably killed all of the Ecoli and bacteria.
YOU mixed the music in too high. The music gets in the way of the narration. You ruined this video. You have my pity and hope that you'll LEARN and MAKE CHANGES.
1:47 Well, this is aviation equipment. I don't think an unmanned vessel needs a gear lever with a man machine interface. What is wrong with you guys? Just another blah channel trying to make some bucks with idiots thinking yt is providing knowledge.
30:00 ... I wouldn't trust anything made by Boeing these days. That sub will be 500 feet under the sea and a hatch will fly off. With all the quality control being a foreign concept to Boeing, I wouldn't give them a contract for a Pinewood Derby car.

I'd rather have the weapons being expensive than cheap. Because with cheap weapons war becomes cheap as well.
What happens if an enemy somehow jams the ship taking over and reprograms it to connect to all of them and uses it against the us?
The problem is autonomous Navy vessels keep being seized by strategic and economic enemies like Iran due to the violation of international law. Specifically the maritime law that requires any vessel to maintain at least 1 crew member while operating. So…..

You can bet that China will soon have more of these and a lot less expensive!
