Report: Budget Devices Reveal Putin’s Submarines in Britain
Britain is exploring a low-cost sensing platform that can be installed on civilian ships to detect Russian submarines in the English Channel, aiming to expand maritime surveillance capabilities without a significant increase in the number of warships. The system, called "OptiArray," relies on fiber optic cables equipped with underwater acoustic receivers and boasts higher sensitivity than traditional systems. It can detect targets at distances exceeding 60 miles, thereby enhancing the ability to spot Russian submarines, including nuclear ones like the Khabarovsk. This technology comes amidst escalating Russian threats, with increased activity from Russian submarines and ships and the growing risk of targeting vital British maritime infrastructure. Britain is making substantial investments to bolster its maritime security and protect its underwater infrastructure from undersea threats.
