CRACUNS UAV Hides Underwater, Then Launches for Flight

Mar-24-16 The CRACUNS submersible UAV will ‘hover’ underwater until called upon, and then launch into the air and fly to its mission.

Created by a team at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, the CRACUNS (Corrosion Resistant Aerial Covert Unmanned Nautical System) is sturdy enough to survive underwater, yet affordable enough to be used in high-risk missions. The key to the CRACUNS’s ability to hold and launch from a significant depth lies in its lightweight, composite airframe that is able to withstand extreme pressure, and its carefully sealed components that are protected from the corrosive seawater.
