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.

2024年6月14日 · Northrop Grumman has revealed more details on its robotic Manta Ray submersible in some new videos. These include a 4K 360° tour of the first test dive and a rundown on the project with images...

2024年6月21日 · Manta Ray is an extra-large glider UUV, developed by Northrop Grumman for DARPA and designed to undertake extended-duration, long-range, and payload-capable undersea missions independently,...

2024年5月2日 · DARPA has finally unveiled more of its mysterious Manta Ray robotic sub, with impressive new images of the prototype Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) undergoing its first sea trials off the...

The Manta Ray program seeks to demonstrate critical technologies for a new class of long duration, long range, payload-capable UUVs. If successful, this new class of UUV will give the combatant commander an amplification of capacity without disrupting current operations by remaining independent of manned vessels and ports once deployed.

2024年5月2日 · Northrop Grumman’s massive Manta Ray underwater test bed completed at-sea trials this year, validating its ability to operate below the waves and with minimal human contact. In a photo first shared with C4ISRNET, the prototype is seen just below the surface of the water, with one fin and part of its almond-shaped body breaking through.

2024年6月12日 · Manta Ray is an extra-large glider designed to undertake extended-duration, long-range, and payload-capable undersea missions independently, without requiring on-site human logistics. The...

2021年2月12日 · According to the program’s home page, Manta Ray will demonstrate key technologies to enable a new class of “long duration, long range, payload-capable” robot submarines, capable of ...

2020年3月16日 · Known as the Manta Ray Program, the aim is to create autonomous submarines that will require very little maintenance or logistical support during lengthy deployments.

2024年5月1日 · Manta Ray prototype demonstrates propulsion, steering in step toward “real-world operations.” An enormous underwater drone, built to roam the oceans for “very long periods of time” without...
