  SG new USV capable for  ASW,MCM & attack sea trial this September

  SG is just try her best to improve defense capability,within her tiny means

  financially,technically and politically!!

  USV is nothing new,except SG explore the possibility to use USV as

  ASW,MCM,and precision shooting,according to

  the mission required.Sea trial is expected this Sept.The concept

  is like USA LCS.I hope the SG USV turn around time is

  not more than 2 hours.

  Venus( USV ）9 m length�5 m height �2.8m width，hull made of compound material，max speed 50 kt（92 km公里），endurance 8 hours �时。

  Max pay load 1000 kg.Sonar and light toperdo will be equipped for ASW.

  Also capable for intel gathering,chasing and attack ships.

  Singapore deployed Protector USV and soon Spartan USV

  USV Protector is currently used by RSN,as shown in Janes Fighting Ships.

  why?do u mean no one dare to knock on our front or back doors?

  Therefore no need prepare anythings.

  2.Or do u mean watever we do,the flag in Istana is doomed to be changed?

  perhaps if they built robots instead of sunken robots.............that would be more feasible in a battle!

  they had rhe same technology back in ww2....but instead of cpus they had humans.

  the usv ...most it can do is fire one 2 shots before gettin blown out of water by enemy!

  how do u wanna reload in combat when surrounded???only thing it can do next is ram itself to enemy ship!

  usv's are doomed from the  start!so hard to maintain and so slow!

  scrap the whole thing!!its a drain of manpower and its heavy n dangerous also!

  ST Engg unveils USV aspirations at IMDEX

  May 13, 2009''

  Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engg) revealed at IMDEX Asia that it has been working on  developing a USV, dubbed Venus, to meet naval requirements in the region. The work on the USV is being spearheaded by its ST Electronics division.

  The business unit's Deputy President, Operations and President, Defence Business, Lee Fook Sun, told Unmanned Vehicles that work on the USV is advanced with full trials of the system expected before the end of the year. Lee said that Venus will have a high level of autonomy with waypoint navigation, some levels of autonomous target detection and advanced obstacle and collision avoidance . The last area is one that Lee describes as 'challenging but doable'.

  The company selected a 9m platform based on a fast speedboat design supplied by a Hawaiian based speed boat manufacturer as the basis for Venus. However, all the important integration work on the USV's autonomy and  sensors has been accomplished by ST Electronics, which has in house engineering expertise in a number of areas including simulation.

  Lee believes that the basic design can be developed to address a number of potential requirements. 'We see the first payload being a gun if you look at the anti-piracy requirement,' he states. Further out the company is also looking at integrating a mine-countermeasures (MCM) capability and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems. A full suite of Venus USVs would likely include Precision Fire, MCM, ASW and Force Protection variants.

  The company has been discussing the work on Venus with the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN), which it sees as one of its first potential customers. The RSN has experience with USVs having used Rafael's Protector USV operationally. However, Lee is also confident that there are other potential regional customers who might prefer a local solution and added that there had been a lot of interest at the exhibition.

  ST Electronics is now working through its trials process and Lee says that there will definitely be full trials of the developmental system before year end. At the same time the company is using its modelling and simulation expertise to develop both the doctrinal approach and the human machine interface.

  The company has not settled on how many individual USVs would make up a single system with it preferring to study a variety of potential concepts of operations. However, the companies promotional video clearly shows that the aspiration is that Venus USVs would be able to work collaboratively to detect and engage targets.

  build afew hundred of it, load them out with missile and sent them like swarm of killer bees at the enemy fleet.

  now all we need is a stealth USV mothership carrier.

  Top 5 Bomb-Packing, Gun-Toting War Bots the U.S. Doesn’t Have

  http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/4249209.html?page=4

  

  ''Operator: Singapore
  | Developer: BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, RAFAEL
  | Armament: 7.62mm machine gun
  | Performance: Capable of speeds of up to 30 knots, this 30-ft-long robot has a 10-mile range, and is equipped with microphones and speakers, for remote communication between operators and potential hostiles. Its stabilized weapon mount hasn't been tested in combat, but since the vessel itself consists of a rigid-hulled inflatable boat, the Protector isn't necessarily designed to survive a firefight. Once the guns or bombs go off, its job is essentially done.
  | Progress: Although the United States Navy and Coast Guard continue to investigate the Protector, this USV has been an active part of Singapore's Navy since 2005.''

  The Yankees just talked too much ,but less actions.

  We should be gladful that they explore the classficiations for us---

  ''The conclusion of the master plan is that these seven USV Joint Capability Area missions can be accomplished in three standard vehicle classes and one non-standard vehicle class. These comprise:

  - the 'X class' - a small, non-standard class of systems capable of supporting SOF requirements and MIO missions. It would provide a 'low end' ISR capability to support manned operations, being launched from small manned craft such as the 11 m rigid inflatable boat (RIB) or the combat rubber raiding craft;

  - the 'Harbor class', which is based on the USN's Standard 7 m RIB and focused on the maritime security mission, with a robust ISR capability and a mix of lethal and non-lethal armament. It could be supported by the majority of the fleet since it uses standard 7 m interfaces;

  - the 'Snorkeler class', a ~7 m semi-submersible vehicle that supports mine-countermeasures (MCM) towing (search) missions and ASW (Maritime Shield) and is also capable of supporting special missions that can take advantage of its relatively stealthy profile; and

  - the 'Fleet class', which will be a purpose-built USV consistent with the handling equipment and weight limitations of the current 11 m RIB. Variants of the Fleet class will support MCM sweep, protected-passage ASW and 'high end' surface warfare missions.
