英国国防部11月10日宣布9000万英镑投入皇家海军大西洋网：以无人机、传感器与人工智能系统在北大西洋猎潜并保护海底电缆
伦敦 — 英国国防部 11 月 10 日宣布，将投入 9000 万英镑，为皇家海军配备新的无人机、传感器与人工智能系统，以应对北大西洋的俄罗斯水下威胁，并保护海底电缆与能源网络。
国防部说，这笔投入是皇家海军大西洋堡垒计划的第一阶段，新系统名为大西洋网，将与海军有人舰队协同工作，搜猎俄罗斯潜艇，保护核威慑力量与关键海底基础设施。
国防部说，这套先进系统将使海军获得一个遍布北大西洋的自主系统网络，其中包括帮助探测俄罗斯潜艇与恶意活动的先进传感器，以及能在海底深处巡逻、搜猎威胁的无人系统。
国防部表示，这一高技术网络将形成单一监视服务，为猎潜军舰与机敏级潜艇提供更早的威胁预警与更清晰的水下活动画面。
与汉普郡企业 Ocean Infinity Solutions 的新框架于今日签署，国防部在挪威奥斯陆举行的国际海上力量会议上宣布了这一安排，该框架属大西洋堡垒计划的一部分，目标是按战略防务评估的一项关键建议，建立由有人与无人舰艇组成的混合海军力量。
国防部说，该框架将带来 9000 万英镑投入，支持近 200 个新的技能岗位及其直接供应链，并在此前国防部在工业界的支出直接支持英格兰东南部 38700 个岗位的基础上推进。
国防战备与工业部长卢克波拉德表示，水下威胁正在变化，这笔投入为皇家海军提供更早发现威胁、保护关键基础设施的新技术，同时支持英国企业。
国防部说，皇家海军与 Ocean Infinity Solutions 将把海上系统、水下传感、通信、远程操作与数据服务整合为一项由皇家海军指挥的单一能力，并与北约及联合远征军盟友一道，加强对干扰、破坏与敌对活动的防护。
UK Ministry of Defence Announces on November 10 a GBP 90 Million Investment in the Royal Navy's Atlantic Net, Using Drones, Sensors and AI Systems to Hunt Submarines and Protect Undersea Cables in the North Atlantic
London — The United Kingdom will be more secure from Russian undersea threats in the North Atlantic following a new GBP 90 million investment in new drones, sensors and AI systems for the Royal Navy, the Ministry of Defence announced on November 10.
The ministry said the investment was the first phase of the Royal Navy's Atlantic Bastion programme, and that the new technology, known as Atlantic Net, will work alongside the Navy's crewed fleet to hunt Russian submarines, protect the nuclear deterrent and critical undersea infrastructure.
The advanced system will see the Navy equipped with a new network of autonomous systems operating across the North Atlantic, the ministry said, including advanced sensors to help detect Russian submarines and nefarious activity, and uncrewed systems able to patrol the depths of the seas, hunting down threats.
This high tech net will create a single surveillance service that will provide submarine hunting warships and Astute class submarines with earlier warning of threats and a clearer picture of activity beneath the surface, the ministry said.
The framework with Hampshire based company Ocean Infinity Solutions was due to be signed today and was announced at the International Sea Power Conference in Oslo, Norway, as part of the wider Atlantic Bastion programme to create a hybrid naval force of crewed and uncrewed vessels, a key recommendation of the Strategic Defence Review, the ministry said.
The framework will pave the way for GBP 90 million of investment, supporting almost 200 new skilled jobs and its immediate supply chain, building on the 38,700 jobs in South East England directly supported by MOD spend with industry, the ministry said.
Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry Luke Pollard said the threats beneath the North Atlantic were changing, and that the investment gives the Royal Navy new technology to find threats earlier and protect critical infrastructure, while also backing British business.
The ministry said the Royal Navy and Ocean Infinity Solutions will bring together maritime systems, underwater sensing, communications, remote operations and data services into a single capability directed by the Royal Navy, and that Atlantic Bastion, working alongside NATO and Joint Expeditionary Force allies, will strengthen protection against interference, sabotage and hostile activity.
