It is considered the Navy’s robotic submarine evasion strategy

Robotic underwater vehicles hold great promise for our nation’s military. After all, why have a nuclear submarine full of people when you can have one full of artificial intelligence systems that control everything? Trips can take much longer as they don’t have to stop to eat or deal with people on board. So it only makes sense for the US Navy to have robotic submarines in the future, which will likely be smaller since they don’t need housing and will be able to do things the submarine force can’t do right now.

In fact, there will be all sorts of robotic submarine evasion strategies that may accompany these new ships. When a Navy nuclear submarine embarks on a voyage, no one really knows where it is, this is because “loose lips sink ships” and if no one knows where the sub is, no one can reveal its location. Of course, the captain of the submarine knows where the submarine is, and his job is to get lost in the world and then accomplish his mission.

Robotic submarines could have sophisticated algorithms based on ocean water flows and random sequences to get lost and locate to an unexpected, unforeseen and unknown location at all times. In addition, the Navy’s robotic submarines could hide behind ships moving through the ocean in their wake, or come up alongside them. They could follow an oil tanker only a few meters from the ship’s hull and be completely hidden from underwater sonar.

It is even possible that a robotic submarine could follow a large ship through the Suez Canal or other canals, bottlenecks, and perhaps even through the Panama Canal. Now I might say that’s overkill, but at this point we’ve already produced software that will allow a Navy fighter plane to land on a ship on autopilot. We have also landed an unmanned aerial vehicle on a Navy ship or aircraft carrier. We have robotic helicopters that have been doing this for quite some time.

Therefore, I think it would be premature to rule out this potential ability or tactic in the future. Not only that, it would be cheaper to produce robotic submarines and autonomous underwater vehicles, and safer. As it could produce many smaller units, so if one is discovered or sunk, the rest could take over the mission, in a tactical advantage of network-centric swarm warfare. In fact, I hope that you will consider all of this and develop these future robotic military submarines.
