With the submarine threat on the rise, the US Navy looks to autonomous water sensor drones February 17 The Navy is looking to update its fleet of autonomous sensor gliders used to measure water data needed for hunting enemy submarines. (Photo: Navy) WASHINGTON – The U.S. Navy is collecting proposals for a new autonomous glider drone that can collect data such as water temperatures over time as a way to improve how it hunts for enemy submarines. The system will be the next generation of the current Littoral Battlespace Sensing Glider, which generally deploys from one of the Navy’s five oceanographic survey ships. That glider became the center of an international incident in 2016 when China seized the drone, calling it a hazard to navigation.

This post has been updated to clarify remarks made by Rear Adm. Doug Small.
The Navy envisions a future fleet with manned and unmanned ships, submarines and aircraft operating in a dispersed manner and collecting a ton of data to fill in a common operating picture – which operational commanders could then use to, if ever needed, have the best sensor platform send targeting data to the best shooter to attack an enemy. That entire vision, though, would require a robust network that could withstand an enemy cyberattack; that could have enough bandwidth to manage video, voice, and targeting data coming and going; and could present a

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NextFlex, America’s Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE) Manufacturing Innovation Institute, announced today that it has received a $600,000 grant from the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to support California’s defense innovation and manufacturing ecosystem through small business development. California is home to more than 30,000 defense suppliers for the US Department of Defense, making it a critical state for innovative defense initiatives to ensure that the US military has access to the latest technology to secure the nation.
NextFlex was selected to receive the grant due to its expertise in FHE manufacturing which combines previously impossible attributes for systems together to produce form factors, cost points, lot sizes and delivery schedules simply not possible with traditional methods. FHE is a robust additive digital technology that produces lightweight, flex

Jan. 8 (UPI) An at-sea experiment with emerging technologies brought over 100 scientists and military personnel together in California, the U.S. Navy said Friday.
Sponsored by the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Trident Warrior 2020 was a five-month execution of 24 technology experiments meant to put emerging technologies into the hands of the warfighter for evaluation in an operational environment, a NAVWAR statement said.
