    Manta Ray The US Navy's Secret Weapon

    Handout photo shows the stealth submarine that will revolutionize naval warfare. To dominate the oceans, the US Navy is launching an autonomous drone capable of carrying out long-duration missions without human intervention. To enemy forces, it will be so much like a manta ray that it will be hard to miss. In reality, it's a military technological feat, since the Manta Ray is an autonomous aquatic drone developed by Northrop Grumman for Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). This unmanned submersible vehicle offers previously unseen capabilities in terms of autonomy and stealth. The biomimetic approach is not just aesthetic. Its hydrodynamic shape enables it to move through the water with minimal energy consumption and a reduced acoustic signature, making it difficult to detect. The Manta Ray will not be limited to being a simple surveillance drone. Its imposing size (exact dimensions remain classified) allows it to carry a substantial payload, paving the way for a multitude of potential missions,
