The American Naval Construction Company presented Romulus, a new family of unparalleled boats equipped with artificial intelligence.
The first model, the Romulus 190, is under construction and will have a length of 190 feet, the ability to transport up to four ISO 40 -foot containers, a speed greater than 25 knots and a minimum autonomy of 2500 nautical miles. The project was developed in collaboration with companies such as Breaux Brothers, Beier Integrated Systems e Incat Crowther.
The ship is controlled by the software Odysseywhich has accumulated more than 6000 hours of operation on different platforms in the United States Navy and its allies. The system allows both the command of a single boat and the management of swarm fleets, with an open architecture for a rapid integration of new sensors and useful loads.
Second ThisThe goal is to respond to the emerging needs of American and allied naval forces, offering greater scalability, resistance and efficiency in costs.
Il ROMULUS It is reconfigurable for different missions and can be used in surveillance, attack, defense against drones, as well as for the launch of unmanned air and submarine vehicles. When combined with the Uuv oarexpands the underwater scope and enhances the war against submarines and the neutralization of mines, reducing the risks for crew ships.
This He says that the project unites his experience in naval construction and without crew systems, aiming for the next generation of military operations.
