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.
In May 2024, Northrop Grumman revealed an underwater drone named the Manta Ray. [13] The drone, built for DARPA, has been under development since 2020. [14] The Manta Ray represents a new class of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), that were developed to perform long duration, long range military missions with as little human oversight as ...
May 6, 2024 · An extra-large glider UUV designed to carry out long-range and long-duration missions in undersea environments, DARPA’s Manta Ray is a formidable new system that inherently limits the need for human logistics on-site. The first images of the completed full-scale Manta Ray prototype were released by Northrop Grumman on April 8, 2024.
May 1, 2024 · The Manta Ray prototype uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) built by performer Northrop Grumman completed full-scale, in-water testing off the coast of Southern California in February and March 2024. Testing demonstrated at-sea hydrodynamic performance, including submerged operations using all the vehicle’s modes of propulsion and steering: buoyancy, propellers, and control surfaces.
Apr 10, 2024 · Follow UST. Share this. Northrop Grumman Corporation has completed the assembly of a full-size uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) prototype known as Manta Ray. A new class of UUV, Manta Ray is an extra-large glider that will operate long-duration, long-range and payload-capable undersea missions without the need for on-site human logistics.
The Manta Ray program plans to advance key technologies that will benefit future UUV designs, including, but not limited to: New approaches to mitigate biofouling, corrosion, and other material degradation for long duration missions. Manta Ray is a multi-phase effort that includes at-sea demonstration of critical technologies.
