Israeli tactical unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) house, SpearUAV, has revealed a new capsuled loitering system development that utilises underwater-to-air transition technology to deliver an organic, real-time, beyond-line-of-sight situational awareness capability for submerged submarines.

“A submarine is a standalone platform that cannot always use other force assets for its intelligence-gathering requirements,” Gadi Kuperman, founder and CEO of SpearUAV, told Janes . “Additionally, submarine periscopes are naturally somewhat limited in what they can see. Our Ninox 103 sub-to-air loitering system brings a completely new dimension to that submarine intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) functionality. Critically, Ninox 103 extends and enhances the ISR range of a submarine while submerged … This technology marks [the] first time that an underwater platform can project an ISR capability without revealing its presence,” he added.

Unveiled at the Undersea Defence Technology exhibition in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on 7 June, the Ninox 103 sub-to-air loitering UAS is a development evolved from an earlier ‘first-of-type' technology engine initially intended for use with ground or air platforms. Ninox 103 sub-launched is now the baseline for all future developments in this class.
