Apr 1, 2024 · In the first of a kind, the U.S. Navy has fitted a new form of propulsion, magnetohydrodynamic drive (MHD), to a Virginia class submarine. This promises to make the submarine virtually undetectable, the holy grail of naval warfare.

3 days ago · Article Summary: The U.S. Navy’s SSN(X) submarine is designed to be the ultimate underwater warfare platform, combining the stealth of the Virginia-class, the firepower of the Seawolf-class, and the endurance of the Columbia-class.This next-generation attack submarine will feature electric drive propulsion, enhanced sensors, and the ability to counter enemy unmanned underwater vehicles.

Apr 23, 2024 · China may be moving closer to the holy grail of submarine stealth technology – a propulsion system with no mechanical moving parts. Such technology would eliminate all detectable vibrations, allowing for unprecedented underwater stealth capabilities.

20 hours ago · From the service’s SSN(X) submarine to its F/A-XX fighter and DDG(X) destroyer proposals, the timely arrival of any new platform will no longer be possible. Currently, the Navy’s Next ...

The upcoming Columbia-class (formerly known as the Ohio Replacement Submarine and SSBN-X Future Follow-on Submarine) nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines of the United States Navy are designed to replace the Ohio class. [7]

Jan 13, 2025 · WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro announced Jan. 13 that the newest Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine will be named the future USS Groton (SSBN 828). The announcement...

Jul 3, 2023 · The new technology provides reduced vibration and noise, greater onboard comfort, better propulsion efficiency, a light weight, and a compact size. The pump-jet is equipped with a ring-shaped electrical motor, which turns the vane rotor inside the pump-jet cavity to create thrust.

Dec 16, 2024 · While that process sounds elaborate, it’s increasingly necessary: Tracing magnetic signatures via underwater surveillance networks has emerged as a new way to detect submarines.

Nov 16, 2023 · — The U.S. Navy is pushing new technology to its undersea fleet to make it safer, smarter and deadlier, while also nearing a major step in developing its next-generation attack submarine.

Jun 9, 2024 · Explore the future of submarine technology with advancements in autonomous submersibles, sustainable power sources, 3D printing in construction, and enhanced underwater sensors for stealth and detection.
