DARPA drone ship tracks submarines – Video Clip
DARPA – the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – is known for designing a variety of high-tech and futuristic platforms for the US military.
One of the most recent projects from DARPA? An oceangoing drone ship specially designed for submarine hunting by engineers at SAIC.
The ship – dubbed the ACTUV sub-tracking drone – is specifically built to monitor very quiet diesel-electric submarines. In terms of real-world scenarios, the Navy would deploy sonar buoys around a specific area to give the drone ship an idea of where to search.
After the search area is defined, the drone ship would be capable of taking over the search using long-range and short-range sonars for up to 13 weeks at a time. The ship is also able to detect and gauge the intent of other ships in its path, with human failsafes built into the system.
The ACTUV is currently categorized as a work in progress, so it will be years before the vessel is actually ready to plow through the oceans searching for enemy submarines.
SAIC says the ship won’t requires human interaction or maintenance for the entire term of its 60 to 90 day deployment. Indeed, the only time human assistance is needed during the ACTUV mission is when the harbormaster escorts the ship out of the dock.

Submarine Escape Training Tank “SETT” – Video clip
The Royal Navy Submarine Escape Training Tank in Gosport is a 30 metre deep pool with hatches to “escape” from at 9m, 18m and a mock submarine tower at 30m. The purpose of the training is to give submariners the confidence to escape from a stricken submarine if it has sunk. The escapees do not use any diving equipment to breathe but due to the expanding volume of gas in their lungs as the pressure reduces, it is possible to continue breathing out all the way from 30m to the surface. This video also shows a demonstration of the Submarine Escape Immersion Suit that would be worn.

Trailer for Submarine Thriller ‘Phantom’ with Harris, Duchovny
Ed Harris & David Duchovny, both of them in a Cold War submarine thriller called Phantom? The cast in this, beyond Harris and Duchovny, also includes some other fantastic actors: William Fitchtner,Sean Patrick Flanery, Johnathon Schaech and Lance Henriksen.
Harris plays the captain of a Cold War Soviet missile submarine who has secretly been suffering from seizures that alter his perception of reality. There’s some odd supernatural-y twists, but otherwise this just looks like another solid submarine thriller.
The Captain of a Soviet submarine holds the fate of the world in his hands. On a seemingly haunted vessel, with a rogue element on board, Captain Demi (Ed Harris) is forced to face his past in order to find redemption in the present. But, in the depths of the South Pacific, man and machine are not alone.

INF submarine ‘sinks enemy ships’ – Video Clip
Ahead of arrival of new German-made submarine, Navy releases rare video of underwater vessel’s drill
The Israel Navy (INF) released a rare video Monday, allowing a sneak peak at its most expensive weapon – the stealth submarine.
  |
The video shows an exercise in which the submarine’s crew fires torpedoes at “enemy warships.”
The exercise was held as part of the INF’s preparations to receive its fourth German-made submarine, which is currently making its way to Israel. A fifth submarine has been contracted.
The Navy plans to add more sailors to its elite submarine unit and the current submarine crewmen course graduation will mark a new record in their numbers.
Graduates of the 16-month course will be given the rank of sergeant. Each has mastered a mechanical discipline of submarine operations, such as cruise control, navigation, electricity, weapons and sonar.
“The submarine – Israel’s most complex marine weapon – is only as strong as its crewmen,” INF Chief Admiral Ram Rotberg said Monday. “They are quality professionals with stern battle ethics.”
