“The Riptide UUV-12 system significantly extends the Riptide
family of UUVs by taking us into the medium UUV market,” said Jeff
Smith, chief scientist at BAE Systems’ FAST Labs™ research and
development organization. “With this medium-size platform, we are
strategically aligning our modular, open architecture-based UUV
platform to meet rapidly expanding applications and
requirements.”
Riptide UUV-12 can be easily adapted to meet a variety of
mission needs, including those that require larger and more
power-hungry payloads. When integrated with the company’s mission
system payloads, it can deliver critical capabilities including
combinations of Radio Frequency (RF) signal collection, RF
electronic warfare, active acoustics, acoustic Identification
Friend or Foe, acoustic and RF communications, mission autonomy,
and navigation.
Key Riptide UUV-12 features include:
- Versatility – agnostic, modular system design enables easy
modification and customization for various development needs;
- Endurance – high-efficiency electronics architecture coupled
with a highly efficient, low-noise propulsion system;
- Open system – native integration with industry-leading sensors
and technology.
The Riptide family of UUVs is a combination of sophisticated yet
simple, efficient, and highly flexible platforms that perform at
great depth, at long range, with high endurance, and at significant
speed to meet various commercial and military requirements.
