Top-secret aquatic vessel, the 'Manta Ray,' was exposed on Google Maps and recognized by eagle-eyed users, according to a report.
A top-secret submarine prototype has been identified on Google Maps images by sharp-eyed users who spotted its futuristic design and quickly spread the word, the New York Post reported. Photos showing the 'Manta Ray' autonomous vessel apparently docked at Port Hueneme naval base in California went viral Sunday as military and aeronautical buffs gawked at the rare glimpses.
Our successful, full-scale Manta Ray testing validates the vehicle’s readiness to advance toward real-world operations after being rapidly assembled in the field from modular subsections,' he said in a statement. Woerner also extolled the Manta Ray's ease of assembly in limited spaces. 'Shipping the vehicle directly to its intended area of operation conserves energy that the vehicle would otherwise expend during transit,' he said.
Industry experts believe that the Navy is prioritizing the development of drone technology to keep pace with Russian and Chinese advances in the field.
