Multi-stage elastomer bearings dynamically adjust stiffness to decouple the rudder linear drive at low speeds while transmitting control forces at high speeds.
A subsea station transfers buoyancy-adjustment material to an unmanned underwater vehicle for real-time depth control.
Segmenting the crew room into dry and wet zones resolves the safety versus immersion trade-off.
Segmented hull design enables flexible configuration of useful elements, resolving the trade-off between crew protection and modular expandability.
V-section trim members deflect sound waves away from the submarine hull to reduce acoustic signature.
A ring wing lifting surface generates horizontal propulsion through lift while maintaining a compact cylindrical profile for launch container deployment.
