 Alright, well what we're looking in is the forward compartment of Proteus. This is the pilot station and the co-pilot station and where the controls are when it's in demand mode. There is a switch on this panel that takes it into an autonomous mode and in that mode nobody's in here and it runs on its own brain, makes its own decision. There is in the back here in the center of the vehicle, there is a compartment that is our cargo compartment and the Bombay doors are open right now and from there we can that mechanism that you're looking at suspends payload packages that we can drop out those doors at specific locations and those doors open and close when you arrive on station. In the back you want to go to the back, so this is the back of the vehicle and this carries four people, four combat swimmers or a lot of payload and so you have to like each other because it's not a lot of space for four guys and dive people. Is there anything else about this that is interesting or? One of the interesting things that we have here today is there is on the top of the mast a forward mast a 360 degree camera which can be put up kind of like a periscope and we're showing the view of the show on the little tablet in here but it would normally be displayed on the display at the pilot and co-pilot station. That camera has been under development by Patel and they are our partner in the vehicle and that's some of the things that they're working on. Okay. Is there anything else you'd like to say about this? No, I think that's good. That's good? Ross Lindemann R-O-S-S-L-I-N-D-M-A-N Okay, I'm with Undersea Solutions Group in Panama City, Florida. We're part of the Huntington Ingalls family and we specialize in development and building of undersea vehicles and systems and this is one of our large vehicles. It is unique in the world in that it is a dual-mode undersea vehicle. It can be both an unmanned undersea truck or a manned swimmer delivery vehicle so it's capable of fully autonomous operations or it can carry people. This vehicle is owned by the company and we lease it to the Navy as a test bed to work on development of undersea payloads, concepts of operations for UUVs, vehicle technologies. Customers that have used it are the Naval Research Laboratory, Naval Surface Warfare Center of Panama City, Naval Special Warfare Command. We did a test that was sponsored by them, DARPA and a number of other activities. What's some of the tests that you guys have done with this over at the Navy? Well we carry payloads and they're customer-specified payloads. They're not payloads that I can really talk a lot about but like a customer we'll have some specialized technology that is to go on board either a UUV or sometimes even a larger platform and we are able to take it to sea and test it in real-world conditions. The vehicle also has the capability of, aside from being a test bed, it has tactically useful payload and range so it is also available as a contingent operational capability. Well it is, it has a full suite of autonomous behaviors. It is able to deliver payload to specific locations autonomously. Underneath the vehicle there are cargo bay or bomb bay doors that open and close. It has a mechanism inside that drops payload packages. It's able to go someplace and park on the bottom and talk to a sensor network and undersea modem and so be a hub in a network. It may lay down that sensor field and then go sit on the bottom and talk to it. It's able to stay on station for a good number of days so it has good persistence and it has good range. How much does something like this cost? Well that's always the big question isn't it? It's approximately a ten million dollar vehicle for the vehicle that you see here. Now if a customer comes and they want an elaborate sensor suite then that would add to it. But the platform itself is about a ten million dollar platform. Proteus will, on September the 10th, it will mark its fourth year, finish its fourth year of operations. It has about sixteen hundred and fifty hours of dive time on it. It just recently completed a non-stop thirty day mission, simulated mission in our test tank. So it has, while it looks pretty here in the show, it's not a, it took some effort to get it because it is a working vehicle and in fact when the show is over it goes back to work for the Navy in the next month. So next question is, how long can something like this stand underneath water? This vehicle has a persistence of about a week. It depends on how the mission breaks down but we're able to execute a mission on the order of a week depending on how fast, how far and what you're doing, a week straight. Now we're able to double that. So this is set up to carry people or be a truck. Didn't even see that. Where do you want me to start? The question was like, can it stay underneath water for a week? You want me to get two of my people to block here? Okay. Alright, so when you say a week, does that mean a week straight? Yes, it can stay under undersea a week straight. Without people on board to double the battery loadout and actually make that two weeks. It does not and it requires people in it. It brings the capability in a mission to be able to run some legs of the mission with people and other legs completely autonomously. It has on board 12 computers that take and run it when it's in the autonomous mode. Unmanned, it goes to about 200 feet and with people on it you're limited by the man and so it's about 150 feet. This has a lithium polymer battery pack. It is the same set of batteries, pressure independent batteries from Bluefin Robotics that are being used in the Navy's... Okay, it has on board a lithium polymer battery pack. It's using the same pressure independent batteries that are from Bluefin Robotics that are currently being certified for the Knifefish program. Well the big thing about it is the dual mode aspect and the big thing about the vehicle that makes it unique in the world right at the moment is the dual mode aspect. So if you're on a mission and it's on board a submarine and a dry deck shelter you can only have one vehicle in there. This demonstrates the feasibility of having one vehicle that can do both the UUV missions and the STV mission. So it gives the commander more tools in the toolbox. Want me to do that again? I can get somebody to block this. I think I was basically done, unless there's something going to happen. No, no, we're good. So behind me is a liquid robotics wave glider. It's an SV-3 model. It is a autonomous unmanned surface vehicle and it's intended to go on very long duration missions at sea. Oh, okay. So I'm standing in front of a liquid robotics shark unmanned surface vehicle which is an autonomous vehicle that's intended to go on long range, long duration missions at sea. Well I guess our secret sauce, if you will, is that it uses a combination of wave and solar energy. It's completely green and it has the unique proposition of using the vertical motion of waves, capturing the energy mechanically of waves to propel the vehicle. So there is no fuel on board and then it captures solar energy, converts that to electrical power which is stored on board and that's used for the sensors and the communications. I think the one thing that makes this vehicle unique is its ability to stay at sea on mission for very long periods of time. We're talking about months at a time, up to a year, on missions of varying... I'm losing it. Okay, my next question is going to be, so what is its mission? Well, the wave glider... Sorry. The shark has the great ability to act as a platform for a number of sensors, so it's very configurable for the actual end use of the customer. It's presently being used in the oil and gas industry. Certainly here at Sea Air Space, we're interested in defense applications and those include intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, as well as anti-submarine warfare and other things that might require putting sensors and communications in places that are difficult to get to with manned vehicles. The what? Well, the wave glider has the ability to host communications and sensors that are designed for a particular mission and so in many cases, our customers will bring those sensors to us. Sensors could be things like measuring environmental assessment, so it could be the temperature, the salinity, the oxygen content within the ocean surface layer. It can be passive anti-submarine warfare. It can be acoustic sensing. It can be sensing in the air and through the atmosphere and as well we have the ability to have satellite communications 24-7-365. Well, one of the things that I think is it actually has a very high cool factor is that we hold the Guinness Book of World Records record for the longest autonomous unmanned vehicle transit over 9,000 miles, 411 days from essentially San Francisco to Sydney, Australia. And by the way, that's longer than the Mars rover went. The wave glider... Sorry, sorry. The shark has the capability to communicate to the cloud back to command and control facility but it can also work in an autonomous but fully netted way between systems. So you can envision fleets of shark vehicles out there with interoperability and communications between the platforms. So it gives you, in effect, the ability to have a very netted system of systems at sea. Absolutely. Shark Connect is a swarm. The swarming behavior is built in. It's cooked into the software. So we have a very advanced autonomy engine on board and we can operate them individually or as fleets or as you say swarms. Well, the beauty of the command and control being by satellite allows it to be operated anywhere in the world. So they have literally been in every ocean of the globe. They've operated in the Arctic, around Antarctica and in every ocean around the globe. There's no limitation. How long has this been on development? The company has been around since 2007. I think the first prototype was around 2005. This vehicle came out in late 2013. This SV3 shark is our latest iteration. Very, very high TRL though for defense customers. About 350 vehicles swimming around the world out in the wild if you will and it has a great, rigorous testing procedure and we feel very comfortable putting them to sea for very long periods of time. Is this being used by the Navy right now? It is. So sharks are a part of several Navy programs. We've been in a couple of SBIRs with the Office of Naval Research. We're currently in a program with the Prime Lightos supporting PMS 485 and there are a number of special access programs. I shouldn't say that. I don't want to say it anyway. The shark vehicle is in use and has been in use for Navy programs for a number of years. In fact, our first Defense Department customer was part of the Navy. We've had a very successful collaboration with the Naval Oceanographic Office, with the Office of Naval Research and many, many others, the Navy Research Lab, many other Navy agencies. Well, I'm trying to think about... Hi. I'm not sure the answer to that. All right. Well, I mean, I can answer. Well, I can just say the shark vehicle is a commercial item. So it's covered under commercial jurisdiction. It is not ITAR controlled and that has given us the latitude to sell to foreign governments as well. We have had several collaborations through channel partners, including the Royal Australian Navy. No. This is the coolest thing out there. Real quick. If I could get you to look at me and say your name and what you do here. Hi. My name is Don Jago. I'm a retired Navy captain, but I am now happily the senior director for business development for the Navy for liquid robotics incorporated, a company based in Sunnyvale, California. Jago, J-A-G-O-E. First name, Donald. Yep, D-O-N-A-L-D.
