Minerva

SeaBomb

Ronquil

Minerva is a one-person propeller-driven submarine equipped with pilot-in-the-loop automated pitch & yaw control. Counter-rotating propellers will ensure the design speed of 6.5kts can be achieved. Silver medalist SeaBomb is a one-person non-propeller submarine, propelled with four high-aspect ratio yawing, swaying foils, something like an underwater four fish-drawn chariot! Equipped with a multi-beam sonar, semi- automated control, and a novel hydraulic transmission system, she should be a real contender on the submarine racing scene. All new Ronquil is still a concept craft. To be propelled by a half-length undulating fin, and equipped with automated directional control, she should be ready for the 2013 ISR.
