The Royal Navy is rolling out a new tactic to counter Russian submarine activity in the North Atlantic—a fleet of autonomous undersea gliders designed to patrol deep waters for months at a time while silently listening for hostile movement, according to program lead Katie Ray on the BBC. The SG-1 Fathom glider is already operating at depth, “monitoring and listening for potential adversaries” in waters around the United Kingdom. The system is aimed squarely at shadowing adversaries like Russian submarines suspected of operating covertly in or near British waters and working with intelligence vessels to map the UK’s critical network of seabed cables and energy pipelines Unted24media says. The Fathom glider, built by European defense firm Helsing, moves by altering buoyancy and riding hydrodynamic forces rather than propellers—allowing it to travel long distances in a distinct saw-tooth motion across a programmed range of depths. Its onboard sensors collect data continuously, processing acoustic information with AI software trained on decades of submarine detection records. Ray noted the system identifies threats “faster than we were ever able to before.” If trials prove successful, Fathom gliders are expected to become part of Atlantic Bastion, Britain’s emerging network of autonomous drones, warships, and patrol aircraft built to protect seabed infrastructure and tighten surveillance across the North Atlantic. The UK Ministry of Defence calls Atlantic Bastion a direct response to the sharp rise in Russian undersea activity. Government figures suggest the number of Russian vessels posing a risk to British waters has climbed 30% over the past two years. The warning comes as British lawmakers sound alarms. In September, the Parliamentary Committee on National Security Strategy said it was “not confident” in the UK’s ability to protect underwater cables—and cautioned that a sabotage event could trigger “catastrophic disruption” to Britain’s financial and communications systems. Last month, the Russian intelligence ship Yantar—long suspected of mapping undersea infrastructure—pointed lasers at British pilots monitoring its movements near UK waters. Defence Secretary John Healey condemned the behavior as “extremely dangerous” and confirmed Yantar has repeatedly entered and exited the UK’s exclusive economic zone. During a recent visit to Portsmouth, Healey underscored that investing in new technology is now a matter of urgency. “This is about staying ahead of the Russians,” he said onboard XV Patrick Blackett, the Royal Navy’s experimental technology test ship. A display of new systems included a remotely operated surface craft, a prototype of Proteus—the Royal Navy’s first unmanned helicopter—and Excalibur, a 12-meter, 19-ton autonomous submarine launched for trials this year. “We know they are mapping our cables, our networks and our pipelines, and we know they are constantly developing new capabilities to put them at risk,” Healey said. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism http://t.me/kanal13tv & https://bit.ly/37BVMqU https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://bit.ly/2Rs6MB3 #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine https://bit.ly/2V19Fdy Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/KANAL13AZ/join *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to +49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: http://kanal13.tv/ http://www.facebook.com/tvkanal13 https://twitter.com/Kanal13Az https://www.instagram.com/kanal13.az Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan Tags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen
