A "drone" boat capable of 12-hour missions is being developed for the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers.
The technology, being created in Portsmouth by BAE Systems and ASV, is being designed for use by the Queen Elizabeth Class ships.

HMS Queen Elizabeth Outfitting in 2014, it will be followed by HMS prince of wales carrier which will be completed by 2017.

When installed in the Navy's rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), they will be capable of unmanned operations up to 25 miles (40km) from their parent vessel.
The Royal Navy has not yet decided whether to use the new technology.
The adapted boats, which can travel in excess of 38 knots (44mph), are intended to carry out high-risk missions without putting sailors in danger.
'Protecting ships'
They can also be remote controlled from land or ship, or piloted normally.
Les Gregory, product and training services director at BAE Systems, said the boats were capable of performing multiple roles.
Dan Hook, managing director for Fareham-based ASV, which develops unmanned marine systems, said the technology would allow the boat to complete "complex missions and navigate through waters avoiding collisions".
He said: "This gives it the flexibility and sophistication to operate in a number of different tactical roles, whether it's patrolling areas of interest, providing surveillance and reconnaissance ahead of manned missions, or protecting larger ships in the fleet."


A Type 45 Destroyer ,HMS Daring, the first of 8 planned destroyers the Royal navy is building(with four in operation.).

The technology is designed as a retrofit to the Pacific 24 RIB, which is already deployed across Type 23 Frigates and Type 45 Destroyers, and will go on the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers once they enter service.

Yes bro. Just like we are planning to provide Germany designs/help with our global combat warship, we are ready to cooperate with Germany inalmost all fields. Germany is increasingly taking our advice that it needs to take more responsibilities in projecting power globally and securing our interests worldwide. Slowly but surely Germany is getting there, We will cooperate and support Germany in this direction, since we are now all brothers(im not forgetting our french buddies @Gabriel92 ).:enjoy:

For example Germany is already sending military attaches/advisers to Cameroon, where it will join British and U.S troops already deployed in these countries(Nigeria/cameroon) against islamist terrorists group Boko Haram who has been terrorising countries in this region. Welcome development .:cheers:

Slowly but surely our German brothers are assuming their position as a leading Global power as well. This is a good thing for Europe as a whole. :cheers:

They need a whale, not a pleasure boat. Good for mine and sub hunting and intelligence missions.
