The Armed Forces of the Philippines said it was conducting an investigation into the origin and purpose of a submarine drone found in the waters of central Philippines.
A fleet of SeaExplorer underwater gliders were deployed off the Portuguese coast to carry out REA (Rapid Environmental Assessment) and ACOUSTINT (Acoustic Intelligence) missions in a complex environment.
Underwater gliders that can rapidly send vital information that could give an extra edge to the Royal Navy’s anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations are being rigorously trialed in the North Atlantic.
