GABLER/FLANQ torpedo-tube-launched USV completes sea trials

GABLER and FLANQ completed sea acceptance tests of a 21-inch torpedo-tube-launched uncrewed surface vessel (Ranger) that autonomously surfaces for covert ISR, with folding keel/mast and configurable payload bay. The novelty is submarine torpedo-tube deployment of an attritable USV plus autonomy/mission software, enabling new covert launch concepts and potentially a one-way-attack variant (Strike).
