There are definitely some advantages to having unmanned submarines: no need for berthing or quarters - in general, no need for sanitation plumbing, galley, food storage, crew's air storage, treatment, filters, or conditioning/cooling/heating or movement (fans). This would certainly make more room for weapons, sensors, and payload. As an ex bubblehead, I'm beginning to feel unneeded.

We may claim the Orca was designed for 'laying mines' but our adversaries will immediately see this as a nuclear weapon delivery system. Heck if those adversaries had this technology we would be scared of them using it for that purpose.

China payd them too, therefore when China starts to make its move, US will loose some 2.nd and 3rd line light warships, for the honour of the flag, but the fleet core and most expansive technologies will be "on training mission" somewhere else, probably out of reach even.

The hull is flat-sided, which means it cannot go very deep (e.g., designed exclusively for a littoral mission set) or, because it had no need to protect fragile human crews, it can go very, very deep by equalizing internal and external hydrostatic pressure. If it is acoustically invisible, it may have the ability to re-echo the ambient natural acoustical signature. (Noise-Cancelling + Anti-noised cancelling.)

Given that the ocean is constantly in motion, the snagged net could become unsnagged. The ebb & flow could allow the net to cut through whatever was holding it. Modern technology vs. Mesolithic technology. I hope it's been addressed, because this drone is an amazing piece of work.

Are they showing the actual propeller blades, or is this a mock-up, to be replaced in the operational model? Because they never show the public the propeller blades on submarines in service. Only on old, obsolete and retired museum pieces - and not always, even then. Apparently, if you know the shape of the propeller blades, you can calculate the noise they make in the water and then use that to detect the subs. Or so I'm told. Another interesting point is that for decades the US Navy resisted not only acquiring and deploying Diesel-electric submarines, but also manufacturing such subs for foreign clients anywhere in the US, less the fact the US already builds such subs would be leveraged to put pressure on the navy to buy some instead of its way more costly nuclear subs. And now they are making 5 new Diesel-electric subs for the first time in like 60 years and counting.

I guess the Navy works already on a nuclear powered version?! Look - first: there are huge advances in micro-nuclear-reactor design. Second: a big part of the complications (weight, size) of a reactor is due to the fact, that the radiation has to be contained towards the crew living space. In an autonomous vehicle, this issue doesn’t persist. Third: there are only two reasons, why the vessel has to come up tot the surface (where it is the most vulnerable): to charge the batteries and to communicate. I guess the Navy has already some hacks for the communication - but the slow charging of the batteries is a bummer. Also: without big batteries (because of the reactor), the weight and volume penalties are almost offset.

Can't wait to see the Chinese copy of this one.
