OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH (March 5, 2009) The U.S. Navy is converging two separate research efforts — unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and fuel cell systems — to significantly improve battlefield surveillance capability. The Ion Tiger is a hydrogenpowered fuel cell UAV in development at the Naval Research Laboratory, the corporate laboratory of the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Previously flown with battery power, it has demonstrated sound aerodynamics, high functionality, and low-heat and noise signatures. When the final test flight of Ion Tiger lifts off, it will demonstrate how an enduring surveillance solution can operate at a low cost with less possibility of detection. The trial is expected to exceed previous flights seven-fold, from a duration of over three hours to 24 hours, while carrying a payload of 5 lbs. (U.S. Navy video/Released)

PACIFIC Ocean (July 16, 2008) - HMAS Waller (SSG 75) sinking an unidentifed decomissioned U.S. Navy ship with a Mk 48 Mod 7 CBASS torpedo. The firing occurred during the Rim of the Pacific 2008 (RIMPAC 08) exercise, involving multiple navies off the coast of Hawaii between June and July. This controlled exercise resulted in the planned sinking of a retired US warship. The MK 48 Mod 7 Common Broadband Advanced Sonar System (CBASS) torpedo is the latest enhancement for the MK 48. Considered the world's premier submarine-launched torpedo, the MK 48 Mod 7 represents a superior capability against both surface ships and submarines with sonar enhancements that make the torpedo an effective weapon in shallow water and in a countermeasure environment. The development of the CBASS torpedo has been achieved under an Armaments Cooperative Program between the United States Navy (USN) and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). This partnership has established common requirements, interfaces, configurations and maintenance standards enabling any Australian or US submarine to load torpedoes prepared by any Australian or US torpedo maintenance facility.
