England introduced its unmanned submarine with a range of 5 thousand kilometers
UK-based defense industry giant BAE Systems“Herneextra large (XL) called ” autonomous underwater tool introduced. The innovative submarine, which emerged as a result of the project developed for the Royal Navy, was designed specifically for military purposes. Herne was developed to serve a wide range of missions, from monitoring and protecting underwater infrastructure to supporting submarine warfare to covert reconnaissance missions.
Has autonomous control
Herne, BAE Systems’ high-specification vehicle for vehicles on and below the sea surface autonomous military control system Nautomate Equipped with. This system has previously been successfully tested on surface vehicles and has now started to be used on the Herne submarine. Nautomate stands out as a technology that can be integrated into both new and existing platforms. The open architecture of the system offers a high degree of operational flexibility, as it can be used on ships from 6 meters to 50 meters.
BAE Systems based in Canada to build first prototype of Herne Cellula Robotics partnered with. Thanks to this collaboration, from the concept stage to the actual deployment and testing process in just 11 months in time The road has been made.
45 days and 5 thousand kilometers range
BAE Systems’ Herne XLAUV stands out among its peers with its advanced modular design and hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. This design allows Herne to stay underwater for up to 45 days and travel up to 5,000 km.
Herne’s design can be adapted to perform different tasks; intelligence, surveillance, target detection and reconnaissance, maritime security ve to submarine warfare It appeals to a wide range of uses. It also allows for a variety of payload integrations, including remote-controlled weapon systems, non-lethal ship arrest systems, 360-degree panoramic and pan-tilt surveillance cameras, and signals intelligence units for enhanced operational capabilities.
