TOKYO, Japan - The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's submarine "Soryu" is launched at a ceremony at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.'s shipyard in Kobe, western Japan, in December 2007. The sophisticated Soryu-class sub is seen as a potential candidate as Australia, keeping a watchful eye on China's expanding maritime military power, considers replacing its aging submarine fleet.

                  Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' drone flies stably even in 30-meter winds

                  Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it has successfully conducted an experiment to operate an unmanned aircraft system combining aerial and underwater flying robots (drones) from a distance of 1,000 kilometers. A dedicated line connected the experimental monitoring area in Kyushu to the company's office in Marunouchi, Tokyo. It was confirmed that the drone could be operated until it detected a suspicious ship approaching the area via radar, rushed to the area, monitored it, and automatically tracked it. In the future, we will conduct experiments at longer distances and increase the number of drones. The system will be commercialized by the end of fiscal 2019. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has developed an attitude control technology for aerial drones that can withstand typhoon-force winds of 30 meters and fly stably.
