New Wave of Innovation: This will allow reconnaissance with higher efficiency, and eventually rWorld Timeseach armed reconnaissance capabilities,” Cao said.The US is also developing similar technologies, with the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Products Agency (DARPA) having tested a submersible developed by Northrop Grumman literally called “Manta Ray” earlier this year, CNN reported in May.These submersibles are in essence underwater drones with multiple applications, a Beijing-based military expert who requested anonymity told the Global Times on Monday.By imitating how manta rays swim, the biomimetic submersibles likely have higher endurance, longer range and better acoustic stealth than submarines and traditionally shaped underwater unmanned vehicles, giving them potential applications in underwater reconnaissance, anti-submarine and anti-ship tasks, the expert said.
