The Subject: Ukraine's Maritime Drones (USV)
The use of drones on the modern battlefield has become a hot topic since the war in Ukraine especially. Not only the land and aerial drones you might have seen, but naval drones on water that attack the enemies' ports and shopping. In the headlines last year was the Ukrainian naval drone, the UAV has become a big deal since the strikes against the Russian sea craft in the seas around Crimea.
From surveillance to mine counter measures, and from anti-submarine warfare to harbour protection. Yet explosive boat designs have been notably lacking from regular navy’s requirements lists. But those requirements were written in peacetime. Ukraine’s USVs are a product of war. And as the weaponization of commercial drones has shown, peacetime debates on survivability often result in over-engineered and overly expensive solutions.
This USV is small, purposeful, and expendable. As ingenious and neatly engineered as they are, they are the sort of thing which can be built in garages if necessary. Ukrainian sources put the unit price at 250,000 USD.
