A Submarine That Never Runs Out of Power is America s Latest Stealth Ammo
FOLLOW US ON:
United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is building a submarine that will never run out of power. According to a recent report in Forbes, the defence agency has given contracts to a company named Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and Martin Defense Group to build a demonstration version of the new unmanned underwater vehicle, named Manta Ray. In order to achieve the indefinite power supply, DARPA has awarded a contract to Metron for the submarine s energy-harvesting system to power it indefinitely, allowing it to carry out missions lasting months or years without having to return to base or refuel.

While global media outlets have focused attention on election security, major U.S. healthcare facilities have been under direct cyberattacks in recent months. This follows disruptive cyberattacks on municipalities earlier this year. These attacks, and the often short news cycles around them, underscore the reactive attention to threats and the inability to foresee or prepare for emerging threats. Too often, industry verticals and their participants use the “not us, we’re too small” approach to security preparedness.
The next emerging threat which in our view is already present is to U.S. higher education, a big business due to its ability to generate new industries and technology from the ground up (e.g., social media). Like healthcare facilities and research organizations, higher education institutions and their electronic infrastructure are built for collaboration, which exposes a soft underside to threat actors.
