Northrop's UUV is doing its solo trials. So far there's this youtube video. They show the screw for the first time, I think. https://youtu.be/Qj-uu-Nbyhs
>>62862248*first solo trials
>>62862248What's the range?
>>62862248I'm just happy D.O.G.E. will cut funding for stupid shit like this.
>>62863560kill yourself
>>62863768>kill yourselfyou will first, its almost guaranteed>tick tock*
>>62862248Will it be nuclear capable?
up
Something next to it, not onboard
>>62866429>>62866432>>62866435I assume its not the actual propeller that some dei intern posted by mistake but actually a fake out propeller... right?
>>62866519
I don't need a reason to bump a real thread
>>62863560drones are also the future of subsurface combat.
>>62866519the screws are on the wings for all to see. nothing secret here. i recall the smaller model having two on each wing.
>>62862248wonder if this thing can be airdropped.. looks like it might actually be able to sail down relatively safe.. handy for chink war, some can move under their own power and others can be dropped close, then wank at the bottom waiting for ships to move.
>>62869793they should make an armed version with a couple of belly torp tubes, for torps or captor mines. passive sonar is generally good enough to identify enemy subs and ships, so it could work.
>>62870017Ye and start parking em in the south china sea.This type of drone is the perfect use of that massive 3d printer the Army has.
>>62866519It's not the primary means of propulsion, also these are supposed to be attritable platforms.
>>62863802Doesn't need to be nuclear capable,Its meant to take out nuke carrying gears.
>>62862248>prototype of Arsenal Gear
>>62872536GW…
>>62866519Fake and gay confirmed
>>62873189what
>>62873233The prop is cavitating. It's a stand-in, not the real prop.
>>62874315lmao no, this is just the best Northrop can do. this thing is loud as fuck and is easily detectable by Chinese subs
>>62874315They keep showing close ups of it too, but i cant see it on any images of the ray. My guess is some sneaky internal propulsion system.
>>62875503Can't they just be swappable props for testing? At around 1 minute it looks like it's in the right place.
>>62877018I mean the props are small enough they could probably replace them relatively easily to find the best final outcome.
>>62874315It's at the surface, you fucking idiot. Of course, it will slightly cavitate, at max RPM when the pressure acting on the prop is low. Holy shit you faggots are actually retarded.
>>62863560>stupid shit like thisBut imagine a manta ray drone doing a suicide run at a docked Chinese warship.
>>62877509I wasn't even gonna bother saying anything, honestly. "It's cavitating" when you can see through the surface...
>>62863560>save meeee daddyyy Drumpssss
>>62879298Not having you shitters end the thread like that, no
>>62863560of course you are happy, Ivan
>>62877509Here, so you don't look retarded next time:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_w3gcvA87I
>>62882246A link to a youtube video is not an argument, you snide faggot.
>>62882302It's evidence to support my argument, you seething brainlet shitskin. Spend less time scamming, lying, and seething and use it to learn something so you don't always look retarded every time you decide to vomit something out of your low IQ worthless cocksucker.
>>62863560>musk say 'no' to technocratic drone shitlollamominimally automated solutions like the Booker may get put on a shit list though
>>62882376Anon says: "It's at the surface[,] of course it will slightly cavitate, at max RPM when the pressure acting on the prop is low."You link: an introductory video that immediately performs a demo of cavitation increasing in inverse proportion to ambient pressure, simulated by reducing the height of a water column above a hydrofoil with a sluice gate. This demo is immediately followed by another demo showing the effects of a dive on a submarine prop (again, cavitation inversely proportional to ambient pressure). Your video is not in any way disagreeing with anon.I say: your link is not an argument, because it flatly isn't. Whatever argument you would like to make, it hasn't been made.You reply informing me that I'm a seething brainlet shitskin, and you attach a gif that you resaved from /pol/ to really make sure I know that I'm btfo.Do you feel like I've been btfo, my child? Come to jesus.
>>62882447Are you too retarded to see I replied to my own fucking post to give evidence to my own argument?
>>62882521Why would anyone think that? You replied over a day later and you didn't even reply to the guy. It looks like him replying to you.People don't magically know what you're trying to communicate. You have to communicate it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusion_of_transparency
>>62882542>Why would anyone think that?Because they're not retarded? They would watch the vid and see it supports the post I replied to (my post). Doesn't matter if I replied a week later, anyone with a brain can see what it is.
>>62882563Holy shit lolGood luck in life, manYou're gonna need it
>>62882621Thanks, I guess. Good thing I have a BScME and MScMSE. Good luck with your seething goals for 2025!
stop shitting up my thread with your slapfight. we need someone with UUV propeller autism to tell us what we're looking at, not a list of anon's STDs.
>>62882773Are you going to report me like you did twice already, faggot?
>>62882865the fuck are you talking about anon
>>62882865You're clearly retarded and underage.
>>62882376>>62882563>autism: the posts
>>62882773It's just a regular ass boat propeller. Likely just for a bit of steering and low speed maneuvering / station keeping. The actual primary propulsion method is variable propulsion, which is why it's a wing shape - it literally is a glider.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_gliderDARPA renders show it without the propellers. That might just be because it's a quick render or it might be DARPA doing crazy darpa shit and aiming for the moon with some exotic method.picrelated, they propose to make it have a deployable generator. I'm guessing the idea is to have it function similar to a ram air turbine, only powered by ocean currents.
>>62874328lol. What do you want the Chinese to think? These are going to be kabooming Chinese surface ships in large numbers.We need the to underestimate us.
>>62883048Huh, they're still doing the kite thing? Cool.
https://corelab.engin.umich.edu/
>>62863560you lost
>>62887567>asdfasdfwhat about a Dolt Carrier Group
>>62887330(the kite people)
>>62874328>this thing is loud as fuckIt literally has no tonals on any frequency when porpoising you retard.
