A near undetectable drone disguised as a manta ray will soon be deployed by the Royal Marines for surveillance of warships and submarines. The 'Raydrive', a 1m by 1.25m underwater drone equipped with wings and 3D printed fins, will be used by British troops for military intelligence in the future. Benefitting from its silent fish-like propulsion, the drone will be near undetectable while snooping for information from vessels in the water. There are several options for camera surveillance, weapon modifications and sensor packages available according to Royal Navy insiders. The Royal Navy are also rumoured to be considering a similar 'tuna drone' that is constructed by Animal Dynamics.
