All over the world, and this for several years now, we have observed an upsurge in geopolitical tensions which sometimes lead to conflicts that struggle to calm or end. In Europe, Russia, since it has invaded Ukraine, has continued to be a potential threat to the rest of the old continent. To prepare for a potential conflict, the European armies redouble their efforts to modernize. Latest example, the United Kingdom and the Royal Navy which will deploy a weapon doped at AI to track down the Russian submarines.
In any case, this is what the Royal Navy suggests, which announced that it would deploy autonomous underwater drones to identify possible intrusions in the territorial waters of the United Kingdom by Russian buildings.
Named Lurathis technology is in the form of a constellation of underwater drones stuffed with acoustic sensors that will be faster than humans to detect an enemy presence. In addition, drones can make the difference between two ships just to sound. This would avoid false positives and mobilize, if necessary, troops wisely.

Basically, technology Lura Was developed to follow the whales underwater. A way to save time and resources to track down these mammals.
However, it can be useful for the Royal Navy as we saw above. And the company behind this technology, Helsing, specialized in this field, wanted to send a message to the opponents of the British crown.
“” “Lura detects that our ships dissuade. We must exploit new technologies to deal with the threats to our essential infrastructure, our national waters and our way of life. The deployment of AI on the periphery of the underwater constellations will illuminate the ocean and dissuade our opponents. ” explained Gundbert Scherf, co -founder of Helsing, at Time.
It remains to be seen whether this technology is reliable and especially if enemy submarines are able to counter this detection technology.
