A small, submersible drone developped at John Hopkins’ research
institute’s Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) can stay submerged for
months, and instantly surface and launch on command without leaving a
trace.
Watch this video describing APL’s Corrosion Resistant Aerial Covert Unmanned Naval System (CRACUNS).
The drone is fabricated from composite materials and coatings that
prevents salt water corrosion. 3D printing enables production of
complex, low cost structures necessary to endure the pressure at depths
of hundreds of feet, yet be light enough for flight.
CRACUNS can carry various payloads to support different missions.
