Beneath the vast oceans, technology takes a bold leap forward with Northrop Grumman’s Manta Ray, a never-before-seen extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle engineered to endure the planet’s most extreme and inaccessible environments.Grumman’s Manta Ray glider vehicle design features state-of-the-art technology that takes underwater scientific exploration and military operations decades into the future.From imitating the Manta Ray’s movement to advanced energy-saving technology that allows the vehicle to anchor on the seafloor and hibernate in a low-power state, Grumman’s design is a game changer.The Manta Ray can travel unlimited distances and durations at extreme depths and relay and receive information for military or scientific purposes.As if that was not enough, Grumman’s UUV can carry a devastating payload, be it missiles or torpedoes, for use against hostile forces. Manta Ray is the next tier in uncrewed underwater vehicles, and it is only a matter of time before they join the US Navy in the Pacific for the conflicts to come in the region.
