ADM’s Max Blenkin interviews C2 Robotics about the rapid progress C2 Robotics has made in maturing its Speartooth Large Uncrewed Underwater Vessel.
C2 Robotics’ design philosophy parallels that of Elon Musk’s SpaceX – build a bit, test a lot, break it, learn those lessons then build some more.
“You can do that with autonomous system in a way you can never do with crewed systems. The development cycle is just so much faster because they are much simpler,” he said.
“With the proliferation of modern energy storage techniques, we are breaking the association between size and range. Previously, if you wanted to go a long way you needed to be big.
“Now you can operate over long distances with a relatively small platform. As energy storage and the efficiency of propulsion systems improves, that range and endurance will only increase.”
