Know What’s Below: General Dynamics Mission Systems Bluefin Robotics® Unveils the Bluefin™ - 9 UUV

11/2018

General Dynamics Mission Systems has a history of success in the development and delivery of mission-critical solutions for the undersea domain. With Bluefin Robotics’ legacy of design and developmental know-how and General Dynamics’ extensive engineering reach and customer intimacy, a new generation of autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) was created to meet dynamic operational needs in challenging underwater environments. Most notably, General Dynamics is the systems integrator for the U.S. Navy’s Knifefish Surface Mine Counter Measure program of record. A highly advanced derivative of our commercial Bluefin-21 medium-class UUV, Knifefish autonomously searches, detects, classifies, and identifies buried, bottom, and volume mines in high-clutter environments in a single pass.
