The UK will build a plant for SG-1 Fantom, which can detect Russian submarines and ships. The German defense company Helsing will engage in construction. And start making “underwater hunters” intention until the end of this year.
This was announced by Hartpankt. And the military portal Defense Express described the features of the Fantom SG-1 underwater submarine.
The modern production enterprise “Stability Factory” will be located in the British city of Plymouth. Its construction will cost Britain about $ 477 million.
It was noted that Helsing introduced its underwater underwater SG-1 in May of this year. During the presentation, the company has already negotiated with the Royal Fleet and the German Navy.
SG-1 fantom is a small plastic one, and, therefore, an inconspicuous planet. Their dimensions are up to 195 centimeters and with a diameter of 28 centimeters. It weighs such a glider up to 60 kilograms.
They do not install the engine, so they move and can constantly spend up to 3 months on water. Then they plan, and after recovery, they can be used again.
These underwater drones will use on them installed on water locks and other sensors to collect intelligence information.
The detection of objects is responsible for the artificial intelligence of the Lura, developed by Helsing. The authors note that the Lura can detect sound signatures 10 times quieter than experienced acoustics. What does AI do 40 times faster. Therefore, planning are considered extremely effective for identifying goals.
After starting, the SG-1 Fantom enters a certain depth and scans the environment. After detecting and identifying the target, the drone swims to the surface, switches to the satellite antenna of Satcom and transfers personnel information about the whereabouts of the target and its type.
The publication notes that from the very beginning the glider was developed for monitoring whales. But after integration with artificial intelligence, he was transformed into an autonomous submarine detector.
The relative cost of such a shine is low. This is due to the fact that the SG-1 phantom can be made in large quantities and, therefore, controls large spaces. These underwater drones become especially relevant against the background of active growing aggression by the Russian Federation and China, since this was an important question – how to protect underwater infrastructure.
