This is not the underwater panel beating from the 322nd mess tin repair squadron that I was anticipating.

BG Robotics HydroCamel II, Israel's first autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for use in the military, security and oil and gas sectors as well as in environmental applications and marine research. The AUV was developed at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU). Prof. Hugo Guterman of the BGU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Laboratory for Autonomous Robotics (LAR) is seen here with the HydroCamel II in the waters off of Eilat, Israel (Credit: Ben-Gurion U.)

With Hammerhead Mine, U.S. Navy Plots New Style Of Warfare To Tip Balance In South China Sea

Hammerhead consists of several modules. The mooring module keeps it tethered to the sea bed; the energy module provides power, and the sensing module is a sonar device to detect nearby vessels. Then there is the weapon element, a modified version of the veteran Mark 54 Lightweight torpedo. This is a 600-pound weapon with a range of at least six miles widely used by the U.S. Navy and others for anti-submarine operations. (Anti-ship torpedoes are several times larger).

The Navy is looking for contractors to supply a mine that can be placed covertly on the sea bed by a robot submarine; when Hammerhead’s sensors spot a target, it fires an encapsulated homing torpedo.

Watch how undersea tech, including the U.S. Navy's AQS-20 sonar and Barracuda neutralizer work together to detect, localize and destroy surface, near-surface, in-volume and bottom mines in support of the Littoral Combat Ship mine countermeasure mission.

AeroVironment’s Blackwing UAS Connects Submarines, Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

AeroVironment developed its Blackwing small unmanned aircraft system to provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance for submerged submarines. Now the company has demonstrated how its UAS can act as a digital communications relay, enabling the sub to control a swarm of unmanned underwater vehicles.

In this simulated exercise, operators deploy two Bluefin SandSharks micro-AUVs from a larger, deep-water rated Bluefin-21 Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV). The mission includes intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and neutralization of a potential threat. In August 2016, a General Dynamics Bluefin-21 launched multiple Bluefin SandShark™ micro-autonomous underwater vehicles (micro-AUV) as part of several capability demonstrations at the U.S. Navy's Annual Naval Technology Exercises.

It was a stunning blow then, and a complete shock, when - against all odds - a super stealth submarine from Sweden snuck past the USS Ronald Regan’s defenses and scored enough mock torpedo hits to sink it during *multiple* attack runs. The Americans never saw it coming… and never saw it leave…
