That craft, however, only has a life of 70 hours on battery power, giving it a limited useful lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>The US Navy also deploys fleets of underwater drones for purposes of monitoring ocean currents, salinity and the like, one of which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2016\/12\/16\/chinese_navy_steals_unmanned_seaglider_submersible_in_south_china_sea\/\">nicked<\/a> by the Chinese in 2016 before being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2016\/12\/20\/china_returns_us_drone\/\">returned<\/a> a short time later. With their ocean-measuring tech, the devices aren&#8217;t exactly built for war.<\/p>\n<p>Manta Ray, which DARPA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darpa.mil\/news-events\/manta-ray-proposers-day\" rel=\"nofollow\">kicked off<\/a> in four years ago with a call for proposals, aims to be something else entirely: a craft able to &#8220;operate for extended durations without the need for human-present logistic support or maintenance,&#8221; DARPA said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Designed to work in tandem with naval competent commanders, the craft are designed to be wholly independent once launched and offer &#8220;amplification of capacity without disrupting current operations.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To do that, DARPA wants Manta Ray equipped with energy management techniques that allow it to harvest energy &#8220;at operationally relevant depths.&#8221; When asked how DARPA intends to do that, Woerner told us there are several options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ocean wave energy that converts movement of the ocean into power, current energy (think river, ocean or tidal current), and ocean thermal, which takes advantage of the ocean\u2019s gradient temperature,&#8221; are all possibilities, Woerner said.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\" data-pos=\"mid\" data-raptor=\"eagle\" data-xsm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xmd=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-lg=\",mpu,dmpu,\" data-xlg=\",mpu,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33ZRjFK0oei39qJ3XbjszmiQAAAAk&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=3&amp;c=33ZRjFK0oei39qJ3XbjszmiQAAAAk&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Our partners at the Department of Energy have been looking at the ability to harness ocean energy for commercial grid purposes, and some of the advances we\u2019ve made with Manta Ray may be transferable back to them,&#8221; Woerner added.<\/p>\n<p>DARPA also wants Manta Ray to include a low-power, high efficiency undersea propulsion system, &#8220;new low-power means&#8221; of underwater detection and classification of hazards, and the like. All this DARPA wants with the inclusion of &#8220;New approaches to mitigate biofouling, corrosion, and other material degradation for long duration missions,&#8221; the Agency said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Northrop-Grumman doesn&#8217;t intend to dip its UUV in the water until next year, DARPA said.
