ShinMaywa: AUV to be installed on unmanned amphibious aircraft
・Equipped with AUV and maintains submarine survey capability
・AUV can be automatically loaded and recovered
We will provide you with a summary of articles published on GRANDFLEET.
ShinMaywa Industries:
On April 25th, we signed a research and development contract for a new type of unmanned amphibious aircraft.
1. New type of unmanned flying boat supports automatic insertion/retrieval of AUVs
2. Developing a new type of unmanned flying boat to strengthen Japan’s maritime deployment
ShinMaywa Industries press release:
The Economic Security and Critical Technologies Program was established by the Cabinet Office.
ShinMaywa has officially decided to participate in this K Program.
Japanese government’s use of AUV:
Develop an efficient and maneuverable AUV system using unmanned aerial vehicle technology.
The Japan Science and Technology Agency has put out a call for research proposals.
Companies participating in research and development have been decided:
① Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology becomes the principal research institution.
②Maritime, Port and Aviation Technology Research Institute,
③Ia Co., Ltd.
④ShinMaywa Industries
Equipped with two systems:
1. Development of an autonomous unmanned vehicle (AUV) with submarine survey capability
2. Unmanned amphibious vehicle performs automatic insertion/retrieval of AUVs
Unmanned amphibious aircraft that can automatically take off and land on water:
Monitor these subsystems in an integrated manner.
The control system automatically determines whether or not to continue the mission.
Observation and investigation of vast EEZ:
ShinMaywa will develop an “unmanned amphibious vehicle equipped with an undersea survey AUV.”
With this, the vast EEZ can be observed and investigated in a flexible and efficient manner.
echniques cultivated at US-2:
In addition to the technology cultivated with the US-2, we make extensive use of AUV design and manufacturing know-how.
the ShinMaywa US-2 is a fascinating aircraft:
that is well known for its adaptable design and amphibious capabilities. Developed by ShinMaywa Industries,
a Japanese company with a long-standing reputation in manufacturing aircraft and marine vessels,
the US-2 serves as a legacy to Japan’s technological prowess and commitment to innovation.
Paris Air Show June 2023:
Japan’s Space Entertainment Laboratory unveiled a next-generation concept for an unmanned flying boat.
Hamadori series:
We will develop an aircraft that can fly 1,000 km while carrying a maximum of 300 kg of peloids in the center of the main wing.
1. The center of the main wing is equipped with a UUV with a built-in acoustic sensor.
2. Suitable not only for scientific observation and civilian use, but also for the defense field.
