DID - HII’s Underwater Robots Make a Big Splash | Lockheed Integrates AN/TPQ-53 Radar with US Task Force | Teledyne FLIR to Supply Surveillance Systems to Saudi Arabia

Americas HII, a big shipbuilding company, has sold more than 700 underwater robots called REMUS. These robots work without people inside them and can go deep into the ocean. Many countries have bought these robots. Over 30 countries use them, and 14 of these countries are part of NATO, a group of countries that work together. What’s really impressive is that most of these robots still work well, even after many years. More than 90 out of 100 robots sold in the last 23 years are still doing their job. These underwater robots help navies in many ways. They can gather information, watch what’s happening underwater, find and remove sea mines, help fight against enemy submarines, and do electronic spying. The REMUS robots have special tools like advanced sonar and sensors. These help them “see” things underwater, even when it’s hard to do so. Lockheed Martin has successfully integrated its AN/TPQ-53 multi-mission radar (MMR) with the US Joint Task Force-Southern Border’s command and control systems. This integration supports US Northern Command’s (USNORTHCOM) operational requirements by enhancing situational awareness and response capabilities against various aerial and ground-based threats. The AN/TPQ-53, also known as the Q-53, is a field-proven, solid-state phased array […]
