Robocater AP24 The Autonomous Pacific 24 drone boat from BAE Systems has received a certificate from Lloyd's Register Unmanned Marine - which means that its serial production will begin soon.
Reference: Lloyd's Register of Shipping is the world's largest and oldest classification society in the field of shipbuilding. It was founded in Great Britain in 1760. Lloyd's Register Unmanned Marine documents are issued to unmanned vessels that have passed the appropriate certification. Autonomous vessels have appeared relatively recently, but during this time they have managed to go from a technological curiosity to an increasingly popular workhorse performing a variety of functions as part of the Navy. Among them are patrolling, trawling and hunting for submarines. The AR24 was developed by the UK's largest defense contractor BAE Systems by order of the Royal Navy. It is a rigid inflatable boat with a length of 7.8 m, designed to combat sea pirates, reconnaissance and ensure safety at sea in an autonomous mode.
