In the fight for the Pacific Ocean, the American Navy puts on robotic systems

In recent decades, the American navy has faced two extremely serious challenges. Firstly, various kinds of unmanned and unmanned vehicles are developing more and more rapidly. Often they are even combined into integrated complexes capable of solving a very wide range of tasks – from purely auxiliary to full-fledged combat.

Rosoboronexport of Rostec State Corporation will present the newest autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle "Klavesin-1RE" during the International Naval Salon in St. Petersburg. Such robotic equipment will be in demand both in the domestic market and abroad.

The first unmanned KAMAZ trucks were pilot-operated at the Vostochno-Messoyakhskoye field located on the Gydan Peninsula of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.

The first digital KAMAZ trucks based on serial KAMAZ-43118 cars have completed pilot operation on winter roads in the Arctic.

Drones – in every home and for every occasion

Replacing people with robots in war is becoming the most important means for Washington to preserve its global hegemony. That is, unmanned vehicles, primarily flying (UAVs), turn out to be not only a military, but also a geopolitical tool.

The Blueye X3 remotely operated underwater drones are entering service with the Norwegian Coast Guard. All her ships are now equipped with such devices.

The Russian Federation is lagging far behind in the creation of unmanned marine systems

Marine unmanned systems are in the shadow of similar flying vehicles, that is, drones. Nevertheless, they are also developing very actively within the general trend of creating "deserted" combat systems.

The executive director of the company, Evgeny Dudorov, in an interview with TASS, spoke about the work of the enterprise under sanctions, about how the Marker robotic platform was tested for the needs of a special military operation, about the creation of a new drone, about why it is necessary to control robots at a great distance, why there is no need to be afraid of the development of artificial intelligence, as well as about about why robots are the future and in what areas they can benefit humanity.

Artificial intelligence vs. "man with a gun"

In 1915, during the First World War, France, and later the United States and Great Britain for the first time used samples of combat robotics: mobile tracked and wheeled vehicles controlled by wires to undermine enemy ground targets.

The Pentagon stated that they intend to ensure the containment of China for decades

The US plans to restrain China for decades, the rivalry between the two countries will continue for several generations of people's lives. This was announced on Tuesday, May 9, by the First Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States Kathleen Hicks at a meeting in Washington dedicated to the modernization of the military sphere.

Gazprom-Neft representatives announced the launch of a cargo transportation project using KAMAZ unmanned trucks — they started working on a 140 km long winter road linking the village of Tazovsky and the Vostochno-Messoyakhskoye field, providing supplies to the latter.

In the spring of 2023, publications in the media of NATO and Europe have become more frequent, claiming that Moscow will strike at underwater infrastructure facilities in the event of a conflict with the alliance. In this regard, the plans of the West to wage war on the seabed are of interest.

Expert Korotchenko: Russia will face NATO's multi-medium drones in ten years

Over the next 10 years, Russia will face NATO unmanned systems for various purposes in all environments – at sea, in the air, on land and under water – integrated and controlled using artificial intelligence technologies, military analyst, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko told RIA Novosti.

How are unpopulated combat technologies developing overseas

The US leadership is modernizing and updating the weapons systems of the national armed forces, increasing the ability of troops to respond promptly and flexibly and adequately counter threats to national security. Priority is given to new models of weapons and military equipment, including robotic complexes (RTK).

The undermining of the Nord Stream-1 and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea has accelerated the implementation of plans in NATO and European countries to protect the national underwater infrastructure. The first part of the article revealed the plans of the war on the seabed of French and British strategists. This publication is devoted to the plans of Italian and German admirals.

Over the years of the construction of the Union State, Russia and Belarus have implemented more than 60 scientific and technical programs that will help in import substitution in various industries. This was stated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State.

The increasing risk of confrontation with Russia and acts of sabotage that occurred on September 26, 2022 on the Nord Stream-1 and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea accelerated the implementation of plans in NATO and European countries to protect underwater infrastructure, such as communication cables, oil and gas pipelines, and production sites in waters of the exclusive economic zone.

Russia and Belarus have implemented 60 scientific and technical programs that will help in import substitution in various industries. This was stated last week by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State.

Ground combat robots are coming not quickly, but inevitably

Ground-based unmanned systems, or simply robots, are not developing as fast as their "flying counterparts", that is, UAVs. But even here the trend is obvious: machines will increasingly replace people on the battlefield.

The SRV-8X Optimus underwater rover is an updated and technologically more advanced version of its predecessor SRV-8, developed by the Austro-German company Oceanbotics.

Presumably, the division will be formed in the first half of 2025

The division of special-purpose submarines - carriers of Poseidon super torpedoes - is planned to be formed as part of the submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet by the end of 2024 - beginning of 2025. This was reported to TASS by a source close to the Russian military department.
