    Manta Ray UUV Prototype Completes Test Run Off SoCal Coast

    A state-of-the-art, un-crewed underwater vehicle, or UUV, has successfully completed full-scale testing off the coast of Point Mugu, Ventura County, California. This cutting-edge prototype, Manta Ray, is made by the globally recognized defense technology company, Northrop Grumman.

    The Manta Ray has been built and tested with the aim of introducing a revolutionary change in the world of marine technology. The UUV was brought to California in sections, showcasing its unique design that allows for easy assembly and disassembly. This characteristic greatly simplifies the logistical process of transportation and also accelerates the deployment of the UUV in any part of the globe. This shows off its potential for rapid response in both defense and scientific contexts. Or possibly even oceanic rescue missions.

    One of the breakthrough features of the Manta Ray is its unique propulsion method. This un-crewed vehicle employs buoyancy-driven gliding, a technique that mimics the natural movement of its namesake, the manta ray. This allows it to navigate seamlessly through the water without the necessity for continuous human intervention or on-site logistical support. According to Northrop Grumman, this autonomous movement capability sets the Manta Ray apart from other underwater vehicles. It offers a more efficient and less human-intensive operation.

    In addition to its innovative propulsion technique, Manta Ray has been engineered to carry multiple payload bays of varying sizes. The flexibility of these payload bays is a strategic enhancement that will provide a great advantage for the Navy. These compartments can be customized to carry different types of equipment. Whether the task at hand is surveillance, research, rescue, or attack, the Manta Ray can be adapted to accommodate.

    Check out the video below of the Manta Ray gracefully navigating the ocean currents.
