The American company Saronic Technologies launched the second unmanned ship Marauder 55 meters. The construction was carried out at the Franklin Penitentiary, Louisiana. According to the company's management, the production of the second case took 8% less man-hours than the first. The organization is gradually moving to mass production with a planned capacity of up to 20 ships annually. Marverder belongs to the Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV) class and is designed for long-term autonomous operation without a crew on board. Main characteristics: 55 meters long. The maximum speed is more than 25 links. The navigation range is up to 5,400 nautical miles (about 10,000 km). The salary is up to 150 tons. Control - autonomous with the possibility of remote operator intervention. The modular design allows the ship to be used for renaissance, surveillance, patrols, transport and transportation of special equipment. In September, the US Navy received a contract for the production of videos under the MUSV program, which provides for the purchase of 10 unmanned ships. The Americans are consistently moving from testing individual naval drones to creating a class of serial autonomous platforms, capable of performing missions at a considerable distance from bases. At the same time, not only the autonomy of the ships themselves, but also the possibility of their mass production with a relatively low labor cost is of central importance. Somehow brings them along with the drone. War Chronicle.
