Manta Ray - Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman has been pioneering capabilities in the undersea domain for more than 50 years. Now, we are creating a new class of uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUV) with Manta Ray. Taking its name from the massive “winged” fish, Manta Ray will operate long-duration, long-range missions in ocean environments where humans can’t go.
MantaRay - Unlocking the full potential of OBN seismic - PXGEO
MantaRay is the next-generation Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) handling system using proprietary Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (HAUV) to deploy and recover multiple nodes up to two times faster than NOAR and three times faster than ROV solutions.
Building the Manta Ray UUV - Ocean Science & Technology
Manta Ray has a unique shape and size that enables energy saving for long missions, and is classed as a gIider — a type of UUV used since the 1960s by organizations like the U.S. Navy and the NOAA for lengthy data collection missions. Gliders only need to change buoyancy for a few minutes at the top or bottom of their path.
