HSU-001

	HSU-001 HSU-001 is a class of Chinese unmanned underwater vehicle. Overview The HSU-001 is a Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (LDUUV). The actual capabilities of HSU-001 are largely unknown. The HSU-001 is thought to be optimized for seabed warfare. The HSU-001 has limited endurance and is expected to be complemented by longer range UUVs in Chinese service. History The HSU-001 was exhibited for the first time at the People’s Republic of China’s 70th anniversary parade in 2019. Specification Very little technical details of HSU-001 has been released to the public by the Chinese government, and as of early 2020s, only the following information is known: Length: 5 meter Diameter: 1 meter Weight: 3 ton See also Orca (AUV) The Orca is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that is under development by Boeing and Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) for the United States Navy.

	Orca (AUV) The Orca is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that is under development by Boeing and Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) for the United States Navy. The Orca dates back to September 2017, when the Navy issued contracts worth about US$40 million each to Boeing, which had partnered earlier in the year with HII to build unmanned submarines, and Lockheed Martin to develop competing designs for an extra-large unmanned undersea vehicle (XLUUV) capable of autonomous operation on missions up to several months in duration. In February 2019, the Navy awarded the Boeing/HII consortium a $43 million contract to begin work on building four of their XLUUVs, the design of which would be based on Boeing's earlier AUV '' Echo Voyager''. The following month, the Navy added a fifth vehicle to the order, with the total value of the contract reaching $274.4 million. Orca deliveries were planned to be completed by the end of 2022. The basic Orca design shares a length with ''Echo Voyager'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Seabed Warfare Seabed warfare is undersea warfare which takes place on or in relation to the seabed. Overview Seabed warfare is defined as “operations to, from and across the ocean floor.” In general the target of seabed warfare is infrastructure in place on the seabed such as power cables, telecom cables, or natural resource extraction systems. Seabed warfare capabilities are expensive and because of that significant capabilities are only possessed by major powers. Conflicts on the seabed can be both conventional and unconventional, the latter encompassing non-kinetic approaches such as lawfare. France has integrated seabed warfare into their military strategy with the concept of Seabed Control Operations which involves expanding their existing mine warfare and hydro-oceanography capabilities to deal with a more comprehensive spectrum of threats. Platforms The American Block VI Virginia-class submarines will include the organic ability to employ seabed warfare equipment. The Russian subm ...

picture info	Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), sometimes known as underwater drones, are submersible vehicles that can operate underwater without a human occupant. These vehicles may be divided into two categories: remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROUVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). ROUVs are remotely controlled by a human operator. AUVs are automated and operate independently of direct human input. Classifications Remotely operated underwater vehicle Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROUVs) is a subclass of UUVs with the primary purpose of replacing humans for underwater tasks due to the difficult underwater conditions. ROUVs are designed to perform educational or industrial missions. They are manually controlled by an operator to perform tasks that include surveillance and patrolling. The structure of ROUVs disqualify it from being able to operate autonomously. In addition to a camera, actuators, and sensors, ROUVs often include a “gripper” or something ...
