The ASW Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) is a DARPA funded project launched in early 2010 to develop an anti-submarine drone (unmanned surface vehicle). ASW is an acronym for Anti-Submarine Warfare.

Apr 17, 2016 · Sea Hunter, an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) continuous trail unmanned vessel (ACTUV), was christened at Caruthers Landing in Oregon in April 2016. The technology demonstrator is designed, developed and built by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the US Navy.

The Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) is developing an unmanned vessel optimized to robustly track quiet diesel electric submarines. The program is structured around three primary goals:

Sea Hunter is an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) launched in 2016 as part of the DARPA Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program. [2] . The ship was christened 7 April 2016 in Portland, Oregon. It was designed and built by Leidos. [3] .

Jan 30, 2018 · DARPA has successfully completed its Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) program and has officially transferred the technology demonstration vessel, christened Sea Hunter, to the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

Feb 5, 2018 · The Sea Hunter Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel—or ACTUV for short—could someday lead to fleets of unmanned warships plying the world’s oceans, doing...

Oct 27, 2016 · ACTUV seeks to lay the technical foundation for an entirely new class of ocean-going vessel —one able to traverse thousands of kilometers over the open seas for months at a time, without a...

ACTUV system design activity will be underpinned by a set of real world operational objectives to deliver propulsive overmatch against threat submarines and to support tracking over the entire ...

Jan 1, 2013 · ACTUV is designed to outperform and out-endure conventionally powered diesel-electric submarines, (including those using Air Independent Propulsion – AIP), even when they are remaining quiet or try to evade the shadowing vessel, thus keeping them at risk until they return to their home bases.

The overall objective of the DARPA Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel (ACTUV) Program is to demonstrate technical feasibility of a beyond-state-of-the-art cognitive capability for trailing quiet diesel-electric submarines for long periods of time from an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV).
