How do you keep track
of increasingly stealthy Russian, Chinese and Iranian submarines? If you’re
the U.S. military, you build a robotic ghost
ship to follow them around the high seas. In 2010, the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA,
announced that they were building a 132-foot autonomous boat to track quiet,
diesel-powered submarines. The program was dubbed Anti-submarine Warfare
Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel, or ACTUV.
