SOFX The Crossroads of Special Operations
The US Navy has received a new large-displacement design as part of its Snakehead program for unmanned undersea vehicles. These underwater drones that are launched by nuclear powered submarines will be able to scout certain areas and perform intelligence gathering missions. These drones could also be involved in other means of electronic warfare in the future. Naval Sea Systems Command has issued their final requests for proposals for Snakehead’s Phase 2, and is planning to pick an offer by the end of the current fiscal year.
