Immer mehr unbemannte Überwasserfahrzeuge werden für den Marineeinsatz entwickelt. Besondere Flexibilität verspricht eine britische Firma mit ihrem neuen Modell. Die britische Kraken Technology Group führte im Verlauf der Special Operations Forces Week Anfang Mai in Florida das unbemannte Überwasserfahrzeug (Unmanned Surface Vehicle, USV) K3 Scout vor. Das hochmoderne Fahrzeug zeichnet sich durch ein schlankes, hydrodynamisches Design aus, das eine besonders hohe Effizienz und Manövrierfähigkeit im Wasser ermöglicht. Der doppelt gestufte Rumpf reduziert den Wasserwiderstand und steigert die Lagestabilität, insbesondere bei Zugang marineforum digital+ Sie sind bereits registrierter Nutzer?

Despite their high level of technical development, the futuristic-looking ZUMWALT-class destroyers have been criticised in the American media for years. Now the U.S. Navy is daring to make a new start. The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union heralded a period of unchallenged dominance on the world's oceans for the U.S. Navy, in which conflicts with equal opponents on the high seas seemed rather unlikely. The tasks of the naval forces in fire support of forces operating ashore, on the other hand, remained unchanged, Access marineforum digital+ Are you already a registered user?

With the ASEV, the Japanese navy is introducing its heaviest class of warship equipped with guided weapons to date. The ships are designed for the future use of laser and railgun weapons. The Japanese Navy (internationally known as the JMSDF or Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force) currently has eight guided-missile destroyers, including two units of the Maya class, which were launched in 2020. The eight destroyers are multi-purpose combat ships and all have the AEGIS command and control system as well as the AN/SPY-1D fire control radar. Among other things, the ships are armed with SM-3 missiles, which are designed to combat ballistic missiles including medium-range missiles (Anti-Ballistic Missile - ABM). By 2032, the Japanese Navy plans to have two...

Many companies are developing new combat boats or equipping tried and tested ones with modern technology for autonomous use. One of the pioneers is Team Germany with Tamsen, Hagenuk and Hensoldt. In the wake of changing security policy challenges and the changing requirements for modern maritime operational concepts, the further development of combat and operational boats is becoming increasingly strategically important. At the same time, the development of autonomous maritime systems is progressing rapidly. State-of-the-art sensor technology, AI-supported data processing and autonomous control systems are revolutionising military and security-related ship operations. Many nations are increasingly relying on unmanned systems, particularly in the areas of border protection, reconnaissance and tactical operations. Autonomous mission boats are playing a key role in increasing the speed of response,...

With the CB 90, Saab offers a powerful combat boat. The integration of the Autonomous Ocean Core now opens up further potential uses. With the CB90 (CB stands for Combat Boat) from its subsidiary Docksta, Saab is demonstrating how a unit originally designed for manned operation can be optimised for uncrewed operation with the help of autonomous technologies. CB90 is already in service with several navies for amphibious, littoral and riverine operations. In addition to the Royal Swedish Navy - where it is primarily used for amphibious purposes - the CB90 is also used by the US Navy.
