"With this recent success, Boeing has taken another important step in UUV development by demonstrating that the unmanned vehicle can return to the submarine and be recovered by a robotic arm," said Dan Jones, director of Boeing Advanced Information Systems, a division of Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems. "This milestone represents a critical next step for the U.S. Navy and opens the door for a whole new set of advanced submarine missions."</p> <p class="ar_body_text snap_noengage">The test involved the launch of the AN/BLQ-11 UUV from the torpedo tube of a U.S. Navy attack submarine. The vehicle then returned to the vessel where the system's robotic arm (which extends from another of the host submarine's torpedo tubes) retrieved it into the launch tube. The test was repeated two days later with all test objectives in half the allotted time.</p> <p class="ar_body_text snap_noengage">The AN/BLQ-11 (Formerly called the Long-term Mine Reconnaissance System (LMRS)) also performed several complex vehicle maneuvers during the tests, including station keeping and "shadow submarine" during which the system operates underwater alongside the host submarine. </p> <p class="ar_body_text snap_noengage">The at-sea UUV tests follow earlier assessments during which Boeing and the Navy proved that the UUV could successfully home and dock with the system's robotic arm, while the submarine was underway. Designed to survey, detect and gather data on underwater threats such as mines, the Navy intends to pursue the development of 21-inch diameter submarine-deployed UUVs.</p> <p class="ar_body_text snap_noengage">Visit <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080723235640/http://www.boeing.com/" target="_blank">Boeing</a> to learn more.</p> <div class="tags" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"> <h3>Tags</h3> <ul id="tags_list"><li><a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/boeing/" rel="tag">Boeing</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/military/" rel="tag">Military</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/submarine/" rel="tag">Submarine</a></li> </ul></div> <div class="chitikaPremium"> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080723235640js_/http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/amm.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> </div> <div id="favs_feeds_news" style=""> <div id="bookmark"> <script type="text/javascript"> addthis_url = 'https://web.archive.org/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-uuv-recovery/8414/'; addthis_title = "Boeing achieves milestone in unmanned underwater vehicle recovery"; addthis_pub = 'gizmag'; ar_id = "8414"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20080723235640js_/http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12"></script> </div> <div id="feed_news_links"> <a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/xml/"><img src="/web/20080723235640im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/feed-icon-14x14.png" alt="gizmag RSS Feed"></a> <a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/xml/" class="bold_blue">RSS Feed</a> <a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/newsletter/" id="newsletter_icon"><img src="/web/20080723235640im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/email-icon-14x14.png" alt="gizmag Email Newsletter"></a> <a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/newsletter/" class="bold_blue">Email Newsletter</a> </div> <form id="article_subscribe" action="https://web.archive.org/web/20080723235640/http://85.17.187.152/inc/newsletter_post.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="subscribe"> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="Enter Your Email Address ..." onclick="this.value=''"> <input type="image" src="/web/20080723235640im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/subscribe_button.png" value="Subscribe" id="submit"> </form> </div> <h3 class="clear_left">Related Articles</h3> <ul id="relevant_articles" class="images_list two_cols"> <li><a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-p-8a-poseidon-to-replace-p-3-orion/8315/" class="image"><img src="/web/20080723235640im_/http://www.gizmag.com/pictures/100x75/8315_8110715847.jpg" alt="P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft"></a> <h2><a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-p-8a-poseidon-to-replace-p-3-orion/8315/">Boeing P-8A Poseidon to replace P-3 Orion</a></h2></li> <li><a href="/web/20080723235640/http://www.gizmag.com/final-assembly-begins-on-p-8a-poseidon-anti-sub-plane/9124/" class="image"><img src="/web/20080723235640im_/http://www.gizmag.com/pictures/100x75/9124_10040852602.jpg" alt="The first P-8A fuselage is lowered into a tooling fixture in Renton, Wash.
