Royal Marine Reacts To This US Submarine Will Change EVERYTHING - Here is Why!

[@kevinhorne9643]

Just to be clear, autonomous doesn't mean AI. It just means you can download a mission and from there it can operate with no further input required, but it surely can surface periodically for updates or to offload data or get a new mission.

[@RealRichRay]

About the propulsion system... I believe they're using a Magnetohydrodynamic Drive (MHD) which produces thrust with no moving parts using magnets and electricity. There are some interesting and informative videos made by other content creators like Plasma Channel and The Action Lab. I highly recommend watching one, maybe even try a reaction video of one of them. Love the vids, love the new business! Cheers! EDIT: Thanks for all the likes, that happened quick! Obviously I could be wrong. But is the military not usually about a decade ahead of the public in terms of new technologies? MHD's work, they are a proven concept. It's just a matter of coming up with the right materials so that oxidation and wear doesn't happen as quickly. In the details that were released about this UUV they talk about it operating so quietly that enemy sonar systems can't pick it up.

[@Garuthius]

MHD is a long way from being functional just yet, but I for one am excited with the developments in the field.

[@RealRichRay]

@Garuthius Tell that to the channels that make them and use them on their sites. Tell that to the US Military and DARPA, who are always about 10 years ahead of the public in tech. I mean... Over $4 billion per year from DARPA and over $120 billion per year from the US Military in research and development will do that 🤷

[@WarHazard]

i just watched a video on this. pretty cool stuff. hope youre right cuz this would be some awesome tech to replace bladed-props and turbines

[@CallOfDutyMASSACRE]

sounds cool! I wathc plasma channel all the time!

[@Garuthius]

@@RealRichRay OK let me rephrase..... aside from pushing a few litres of water around a loop and a couple of balloons etc .... When 'I' say 'Functional' ... I mean to the scale of pushing 200,000 metric tonnes of steel through a body of water in excess of 30 knots.... WHEN it reaches that level of functionality, you will have the kind of necessary thrust to weight ratio for it to be scaled down, and implemented into 'Micro' and 'Pico' scale projects..... MHD is a long way from that..... BUT as I said, I am excited about the technology and it's developments, and I do watch all kind of science / developmental / experimental channels, I also read scientific white papers etc... I am not interested in propagandist / conspiracy nonsense that is spread around about what DARPA are doing or could be doing or should be doing. The point is nobody knows... so until we see it being announced .... to all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist.

[@ravens.u.a.sflightservices]

Imagine being china and having 30-50 Orca's off your coastline and each on has enough firepower to sink 3 destroyers. All waiting patiently underwater, no surfacing. Like having underwater SAM sites but for ships and enemy subs. Like smarter underwater mines, that see the enemy and attack them when signaled. Also each Orca only cost about 120 million versus 4.5 Billion of a Virginia class attack submarine. You could buy 38 Orcas for the price of 1 attack sub.

[@Marlax-101]

Imagine if China figured out a way to hack in and control our manless subs against us. Better be imposter vle to crack.

[@everypitchcounts4875]

Sandboxx has a more detailed video on Manta Ray and they don't use AI voices. Northrop Grumman official yt channel recently put out a new video on Manta Ray.

[@Jackalhit]

Seconded. I keep suggesting Sandboxx as a top channel, but I don’t think my comments are seen. Probably commenting too late.

[@tj_2701]

Sandboxx, Task & Purpose, and Real Engineering are 3 great channels.

[@stevemarkle6609]

Prolly make a great sensor platform to detect submarines, inspect communications cables, pipelines and offshore oil platforms too, and much more.

[@Benzy670]

I actually love both of those can designs, the green is fantastic. Why not just have those be the two sides of the same can? Also, with the news of aliens supposedly in our ocean, really makes you wonder what these autonomous subs are secretly going to be used for. Convenient timing to have unmanned recon subs, don't you think?

[@BrianGilbert-r8j]

The only way to contact a sub when it's underwater is with ELF ( extreme long frequency) which is 7 to 12 bits per second so messages would take a long time to send anything sizable. So the message sent is mostly and order to come up to antenna depth and get message.

[@CRS253]

There is a channel called Megaprojects that made a video about this ~4 months ago about the Manta Ray, and they go into a bit of logical speculation about what this thing will be asked to do initially and how it can perform its tasks autonomously. Appreciate the content and hope you have a good day.

[@johnkirk1772]

is it just me or does this platform not actually sound too impressive? when it first went into development it might have seemed like science fiction but with how fast AI chips have developed and with drones navigating and identifying targets all on their own in Ukraine already, this doesn't actually sound like too large of a leap forward - the technology pretty much exists already: inertial navigation, self-contained AI systems, automatic target-identification...all these systems are already in use today - rather than anything new it just combines advances in different fields and technologies..still impressive, but not a giant leap

[@One_foot_in_the_Grave]

I think considering that a catastrophic failure on a submarine historically, almost always leads to the crew dying, having unmanned subs doing even half of the heavy lifting, patrolling, combat , firing missiles etc.. that's got to be a win-win right?

[@drkvenger]

The manta design evokes the Moebius flying sub from Voyage to The Bottom of the Sea. It’s life imitating art.

[@goblenator9688]

As a FedEx Express driver i enjoyed the Ring camera bit LOL

[@timsmith1426]

On the autonomous bit, that could be a good thing. They can't be "disrupted" like devices that use radio waves. I'm guessing they can be controlled, but are designed to go autonomous and hit depths you'd have trouble communicating with.

[@bierce716]

The wings of the manta ray suggest a propulsion method. As it submerged, it would glide forward just like the gliders in the air. But even better, it would glide forward as it surfaces, too. It could undulate up and down in the water repeatedly to pick up speed. Imagine how quiet that would be.

[@josephmumma6997]

BOTH, I’m looking at both sides of the can. Awesome job !!

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Woah!!! That prop looks crazy!! I've bought a few new props for my bass boat with a 150 Mercury that are supposedly the new and best props out there and have had limited success. Some tend to cavitate while others lack in the thrust category. So far your standard prop is better for all around performance.

[@tj_2701]

Actually, mostly unmanned warfare has been acknowledged as a very bad idea, because once you don't have to worry about sending Pine Boxes home to loved ones it becomes easier to go to war.

[@jippy8976]

Yep, and the human element within the military also helps prevent a government from completely turning against it’s citizens. Removing that element is a horrible idea.

[@KeesHessels]

Warfare is becoming more and more unmanned, just look at the drone war in the ukraine

[@dereklucero5785]

Amen brother, once you take the man out of the fight it becomes a video game.

[@TheSkyHive]

Hello from December 2024, we are now seeing drone incursions of many shapes and sizes in New Jersey. ​@@KeesHessels

[@davidrust7397]

Inertial navigation is a tried-and-true method of underwater navigation used for many decades and quite accurate. Sub's periodically may stick up a mast to get a quick sat fix to correct any errors, then continue on. Very little of the ocean floor has accurate mapping, so I'm not sure contour matching would be that reliable like for missiles. It's doubtful the Manta Ray uses AIP for propulsion being so small. I would think the Ray has fairly neutral buoyancy and uses mostly control surfaces to set depth but likely also has some capability to change buoyancy, especially for resting on the bottom. Pushing water from ballast takes quite a bit of air pressure and there's not a lot of room to hold air flasks. I suppose it could also use an electric pump powered by the battery.

[@jaryncovell2538]

12:25 that was such a British conversation😂

[@PiousSlayer]

6:41 - Even Sharks attack the cables off and on and when they do, they tend to make headlines in the news. Especially if its a larger 'pipeline'. As for Autonomy, the US Air force is already testing an AI piloted F-16. They currently have it manned during test flights and the pilots take it up into the sky and enable to AI for a few minutes to see what it'd do in different situations and scenarios. There was a tanker drone that successfully refueled another jet mid flight. The B-21 Raider is capable of being fully autonomously flown for missions. The US Air Force will most likely heavily go towards a fully autonomous/AI air force in the (near? distant?) future.

[@GoldBl4d3]

Inertial Navigation doesnt just use prediction, its based on accelerations experienced by the sensor.

[@billjividan9446]

Great reaction. Inertial Navigation systems are heavily used in aircraft and can be as accurate as 10 feet and my information is 30 years old. So they can navigate very accurately.

[@MandrakeDCR]

It would be epic if it had Morel mushrooms in your Morale mushroom drink! I grew up gathering those and cooking 'em up. :) lol

[@seasonallyferal1439]

The problem with drone on drone warfare is that once you lose the human loss. Warfare becomes much more palatable.

[@dereklucero5785]

It becomes a video game.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

The mine clearing capabilities would be kickass!!! Send a couple of these things ahead of a maned Sub and it could save a lot of lives and extremely expensive Subs!!

[@Yuki_Ika7]

one detail Discussed by Northrup Grumman (makers of the Manta Ray) is that it should be able to anchor itself to the sea floor and send an electricity generating probe into the water (think like how those electricity generating windmills work, just underwater) to refill battery power at least somewhat

[@Garuthius]

if it was in low power mode whilst anchored, tidal shift would keep them batteries charged indefinitely.

[@dochubbell]

Any time new military equipment info comes out it is past being new to the military, and more advanced designs and capabilities are either on the drawing boards or are being tested in secret.

[@CheetoTheGr8]

Oooooooo I like the earthly green colors on them cans!! I like both! Why not both?

[@Canthus13]

It looks more like a mola mola than a manta ray. Hell, I'd paint them to look like mola mola, especially in areas where they're frequently found.

[@nunyabidness3429]

The older way of thinking about how advanced the tech the US secret sector has, it used to be like a gap of around 20ish years before it hit civilian market. Now think of how quickly tech moves on the civilian market, and apply that to military tech combined with a stupid amount of funding...

[@BrianGilbert-r8j]

Radio signals don't travel underwater well enough to control at any distance.

[@richardwirt3193]

We can get an idea as to how deep How deep are the underwater cables?

[@Garuthius]

Essentially, being as it does not have need to sustain human life, the only limitation on depth is how far does the engineers creativity go when it comes to overcoming the external pressure using internal pressure balancing.

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

AIP is less technologically advanced that Nuc powered subs. Also, ironically A.I.P. is NOT independent of needing air. It just carries the in a cryogeniclly liquefied form.

[@jaryncovell2538]

I'm so excited to try Morale when it comes out

[@Robert-g6b6y]

PS... No external control services visible I figure it's gyro stabilized force vectoring For steering... Most likely completely radar invisible considering the efficiency of it's shape For such a thing... I saw in 2 locations Miles apart I looked up the second time into the sky and it seemed to just materialize Stay visible for about 5 seconds And started moving forward and disappeared into the sky Perfectly.. I figure you can do this at night too matching the perspective of the night sky Hovers in place or flies by. Crazy huh Oh that was about 6 years ago its Almost thanksgiving 2024 now

[@JamesHunt-e3u]

You should keep both designs for the can...one on each side

[@MrMgentryholt]

I think it'll be more preprogrammed stuff than AI. With AI or remote control you'd have to have some sort of tether or communication array to communicate with. If you're trying to be stealthy that wouldn't be possible.

[@strawonwalls2534]

Ive always thought about the concept of having a water wheel generator connected to ships/submarines where they use the current of the water to convert it into electricity.

[@Garuthius]

Not good for a manned sub, too much power requirement to sustain the crew needs for food, water, air etc etc etc, besides, they have nuclear reactors for power which last 25 years operationally, but 50 years at a push. they only need to surface for food and to change crew. A UUV however could utilize a hydro-turbine generator to harness tidal forces to keep itself charged whilst anchored at the bottom of the sea / ocean in low power mode, this would be able to sustain itself indefinitely. Program those puppies to surface and touch base for new commands with the control centre on a predefined schedule, and you could have a veritable mechanical army sitting at the bottom of the ocean waiting to be called into service.

[@strawonwalls2534]

@Garuthius ah yeah %100 agree

[@v2joecr]

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles have been used for various purposes. Some of the first uses were scientific trying to figure out things un the oceans.

[@FGYT1]

On the can it looks like a front and back if the same can . And although looking like a 40mm grenade in colour scheme is cool to military guys maybe a more colourful design for civis 😂 . Whats your initial production qtys looking like. . happy to put this in as a recommendation for Morrisons supermarkets to stock thru the staff recommended pathway ( no guarantee but worth a s shot)

[@voivode2591]

There are branches of these companies that participate in almost every discipline. Certainly not a new thing. They have to be nimble as there is a limited number of big contracts.

[@brianclemetson8781]

I'm guessing by numbers I've seen for the manta ray and videos seen. It's a whole new technology purposely built for surveillance and recon. I would guess some regenerative properties. In a very innovative way and how it moves. My guess is its purpose built to sit on the bottom of the sea floor in monitor sea traffic.

[@KevinLockamy]

20:25 If we can have areal drones and these UUV's what's to stop us from building tanks that are remotely operated by a say 2-4 person team not unlike you see at E-sports events. 21:14 Yeah, I'd almost be disappointed if we didn't have these patrolling the Taiwan strait, even if just to test the surveillance capabilities.

[@PiousSlayer]

You should check out "Smarter Every Day"'s video series about Submarines.

[@SGT_Ironcandle]

Those things will have three or four of them assigned to fast attack subs and run interference and recon so that the manned subs can have a better early warning system and deliver boom devices.

[@Garuthius]

Not until the world comes up with a workable solution for batteries with 4 - 6 times the energy density of Lithium-Ion.... These things would work great for pre planned "missions" of known duration followed by RTB for recharge (or replace battery pack).... but for the moment, that level of AI controlled autonomy is out of the question... and boom devices only work if you have no friendlies in the water. It would have to run on AI as you have no viable means of high speed data communication with the UUV once it launches... and given that sonar works on identifying the sound profile that matches a known entity, and sonar is 'pretty much' all you are going to be able to fit onto that dinky bathtub toy that runs on batteries.... having them as scout's for submarines on long duration missions is not (at this point in time) feasible.

[@jabreck1934]

Integrated underwater surveillance system covers the entire West Coast and parts of Canada. I wonder if the sub can use it for acquisition and targeting?

[@vVivarussia]

Can you tell me what kind of system this is and why the Russian submarine remained unnoticed for 3 months 100 miles from the coast of the United States?

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

You'd like to think it has a self destruction charge so it could be blown up if captured. Definitely not something you want to fall into your enemies hands!!

[@ryanpatrick6837]

i think by autonomous they mean something like a self driving car they send in on a mission with strict parameters and it completes the mission without someone constantly controlling it, and it can go places where something actively begin controlled will be found out! so i dont believe its like AI i think its more controlled by a computer with a set mission being set by humans!

autonomous doesn't mean it thinks for itself. It just means that it runs a program without human intervention. It would only have the decision making capability allowed in its program. E.g. weapon launch only when conditions A, G, W & K are met. There is no self aware computers at this time.

[@Garuthius]

Agreed, Autonomous navigation to enable it to follow a pre-programmed route and carry out specified functions and then return to base. I don't think AI is well tested enough to be letting it go free roaming at the bottom of the ocean just yet hehe

Honestly if I was the Navy and was trying to figure a way to weaponize this given our level of technology, they would literally be able to network and relay real time data so accurately that I'd arm all these with concussive force speakers and disrupt all sonar. Having a wireless underwater data Network that's mobile would allow us to deprive other people of sonar and no longer be reliant upon it... Until any country caught up or neutralize this they would be rendered blind. Even if we couldn't do it entirely, we could have these floating around our subs giving them a much larger profile and hiding within it
