KATANA unmanned
IAI Corporation unveiled an unmanned boat Katana
February 6 in New Delhi (India), an exhibition Defexpo 2014. Several dozen companies from around the world brought to the event their latest developments. Israeli corporation Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) a few days before the 2014 Defexpo talked about his new project Katana, which is scheduled for the first time to demonstrate during the salon.
Under the "Katana" Israeli engineers developed lightweight multi-purpose boat with remote control. The assurances of the sponsors, prospective flotation device can perform a variety of tasks associated with patrolling waters, search and even the destruction of targets. Project unmanned boat was named after a Japanese sword. According to a press release from the corporation IAI, this name was chosen in order to show the performance, reliability and lethality of the new boat.
Promising unmanned boat Katana has a length of about 12 meters and a maximum width of not more than 2.8 m According to reports, in a power plant includes two motor boats, due to which it is capable of speeds up to 60 knots. Furthermore, the use of two engines allows significantly increase survivability drone in a real fight, because in case of damage or loss of one of the engines of the boat will be able to keep mobility.
Of greatest interest are electronic systems, which is equipped with a new multi-purpose boat. It is alleged that he is a satellite navigation system, remote control equipment, as well as a range of different monitoring tools. Operator complex, depending on the conditions and tactical necessity, be able to monitor the situation surrounding the boat with a few cameras and thermal imagers. The signal from the camera is transmitted in real time to the control panel. If necessary, the operator of the complex can climb aboard a boat and control it with traditional authorities, which "Katana" is proposed to equip small-sized cockpit.
Following the trend of recent years, the authors project IAI Katana built a new unmanned boat on a modular system. Depending on assigned tasks and customer under construction, the boat can get one or the other version of the complex electronic equipment, which includes the required hardware. Likewise planned to equip the boat weapons.
Unfortunately, the authors of the project are in no hurry to reveal the detailed specifications of the Katana, though, and told him about some of the possibilities. New remote-controlled boat will patrol the waters off the coast and a short distance from it, for example in the exclusive economic zone of a State. Thus, the main objective perspective unmanned security system could be different objects: ports, naval bases, oil platforms, subsea pipelines, etc. military and civilian facilities. At customer boat Katana can get the desired type of armament. With this lightweight multi-purpose boat can not only find potentially dangerous objects and goals, but also to attack them. What is the weapon will be installed on new boats, is not specified. Probably unmanned boat can be fitted with remotely controlled weapon stations with a machine gun, automatic gun or anti-tank missiles.
It is known that the project involves the use of IAI Katana various electronic equipment intended for the exchange of information and commands. For example, complex "Katana" can use satellite communications systems. When using such channels, the operator can be far away from the boat. According to the corporation IAI, when the boat performs its tasks in the Pacific, its operator can comfortably stay in Israel.
Unmanned boat Katana until tested and not yet adopted by the naval forces of Israel. Nevertheless, as the launch customer of new multi-purpose remote controlled boats is considered the Israeli navy. Several years ago, the Israeli Navy began operation similar system Rafael Protector, which, according to the available information, is less than superior performance in comparison with the boat "Katana". Thus, the new unmanned boat should be of interest to the Israeli Navy.
IAI Katana project of interest to foreign customers. Naval forces of many countries need light patrol boats and "Katana" could be beneficial for them to offer. At greater cost in comparison with the "classical" remote controlled boat watercraft easier and less expensive to operate, and able to perform some tasks that are not available to them.
Currently ongoing prospective trials unmanned boats IAI Katana. Expiry dates are not yet known. For this reason, at the moment most of the features of the new Israeli development remains unknown. Apparently, potential customers can find detailed information about the project only after the test. Meanwhile, potential buyers and the general public will have to settle official press release, a small demonstration video and other promotional materials.
