Infrasound is the fascinating thing, It can be used for many purposes, and one of them is underwater communication technology. In this technology, the modified SONAR systems are used for communicating with small drone-submarines. Those systems allow operating inside the caves and shipwrecks by using remote-controlled miniature submarines.


That system is actually very similar, what was used to take fascinating pictures inside of shipwreck of ocean liner R.M.S Titanic. That system, what was used to take original pictures of that ocean liners inner space was used wires to communicate small Jason robot and Alvin submarine. But there is many limits in this kind of system, what uses cables to control that robot. The modified sonar system, what is used to communicate with modern midget submarines is actually the same kind of underwater telephone, what is used to communication between naval vessels. In this system would the modem just being installed to that underwater telephone.


Underwater modem system would use also LRAD-equipment, what makes possible to send the sound to the drone by using the very thin beam of the voice. Underwater modems are basically same, what are used in 1980's and 1990's. But modern technology makes them faster. If we are talking about scientific drones, what are used to search inside space of shipwrecks, they can also equipped with inertial or gyroscope navigation system, what allows them to record the route, and if the SONAR-communication would cut, the drone would drive it's route back to the point, where it takes the contact. Those systems can also make the train, where those drones would use together as the relay drones, what allows them to operate in very complicated spaces.


There is one big benefit for voice communication compared with LASER-based systems. Lasers need visual contact between transmitters, and if this drone would land behind something, what denies the are contact between transmitters would the communication shut down. When we are talking about military versions of that kind of equipment, we can imagine the small size submarine, what is following some ship below it.


In this scenario the nuclear powered miniature submarine, what could actually be like U.S Navy's Swimmer Delivery Vehicle, but it can be powered by RTG or radio thermal generator, but they can also use conventional power sources like power cells. In those situations, the most effective fuel for those power cells is hydrogen, because it keeps the electrodes clean. That submarine can be carried torpedoes or small submarine launch missiles, and it can be operated from nuclear submarines or surface warships. That submarine can also use to operate with combat scuba diving missions because those torpedoes can be installed outboard its hull.


Deep dived drones can re-arm by using similar CURV or controlled underwater recovery vehicle drone submarines, what are using in underwater rescue missions. So in this kind of cases, the drone can be called in the certain point to the ocean, and then combat diving team would get those men for the mission. Those miniature drone-submarines can deliver to operation from other submarines, they could travel to target independently, or they can drop from airplanes like C-5 or C-130. Or even shoot by rockets from space-centers. In the last case the is like Atlas would carry the drone by Earths orbiter, and then it would land like spacecraft and it can be equipped with thermal shield and parachutes.


Space delivery systems would be useful in the cases where need extremely fast reactions, like submarine accidents, where is needed extreme fast reaction to secure the wreck and it's top secret communication and other systems. Those drones can also use for intelligence missions to harbors. Underwater robots can also operate from ground stations, by using communication buoys. Those buoys can deliver from the satellites, and then the satellite can use that buoy as the relay-station for communication. Then the submarine can collect it from the sea because that would deny that equipment getting to unauthorized hands.

Submarine of tomorrow might be the robot.

When we are talking about underwater drones, we must say, that submarines of tomorrow are probably fully automated drones, what can operate years in the sea. In some visions, there would be two types of drone-submarines. Another type looks like submarines, what is already existed. They have large room inside their hull, and those vessels might equip with supercomputers, what can use sophisticated artificial intelligence. They would patrol on the seas without a crew, and those submarines are actually already existed. Russian “Status-6” is a good example of that kind of drone submarine, what patrols alone at sea and those vessels are equipped with two 50 megaton thermonuclear bombs.

“Status-6” is probably actually “Viktor” or similar submarine, what is converted as a drone, what can strike any coastal target on Earth. Also, those robot submarines might have defensive and offensive subsystems like torpedos and tactical missiles, what it can use against other submarines and surface warships. But this is only the part of the underwater drone technology. Automatisation of submarines is very easy, because they are big size, and the nuclear reactors give lots of electric power. So those vessels can equip with very powerful computers, what makes independent operations possible because they will give enough computing power to those vessels.

Another type of military underwater drones is extremely long range torpedos. Those torpedos seem like normal torpedoes, but they are equipped with RTG (Radio Thermal Generators) and nuclear warheads. That kind of small midget submarines can patrol years on the sea, and when they would get orders, those vehicles can attack against any target, what is traveling in the sea. The warheads of those torpedoes are the size of 2-15 kilotons. Those midget submarines might also carry nuclear missiles. Those missiles are put inside the torpedo, or they would be connected to the front of the torpedo. When this vehicle gets an order to shoot, it would rise to launching depth, and turn up the missile. Then that missile would be launched from the deep blue sea.

Modern nuclear submarines also have sub-drones for supporting their missions. There are rumors, that Russian and U.S Navies have equipped their missile submarines with remote controlled SDV (Swimmer Delivery Vehicles), what are using torpedos. Those drones can use in a combat situation for shooting another submarine. Also, those submarines have “reconnaissance torpedos”. This means the torpedo-size recon vessel, what can slip in the harbors. The reconnaissance drones can also use to look the targets for the submarine. In this case, the submarine can stay very deep, and send the drone to look for surface targets.


That drone sends it data with LRAD- or blue-green laser light modems to submarine, what can stay in cover. Those submarines can also have robots, what uses manipulators for underwater recovery and minesweeping operations. Those CURV (Controlled Underwater Recovery Vehicle) submarines can recover secret devices, what are dropped in the sea, and they can also use to sweep mines from the coast before the attack to the beach. CURV vehicles were used to return the hydrogen bombs, what dropped in the sea when B-52 bomber got the trouble in the Spanish coast during the Cold war.
