[QUOTE="yarara, post: 353416, member: 457"] Primer UAV a bordo de submarinos de la clase Los Angeles Navy tries out new surveillance craft Date: November 12, 2007 The Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine Montpelier has been equipped with the Buster unmanned aerial vehicle, the first submarine to get the system. The Buster, which is in use by the Army, is a portable surveillance aircraft that takes infrared images. A Navy cruise missile submarine (SSGN) will likely also get the Buster in the future, said Vice Adm. Jay Donnelly, submarine force commander, in a videotaped address to the annual Naval Submarine League symposium in McLean, VA Oct. 31. The Buster was tested at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) the week before the symposium, Donnelly said. He showed attendees a video of the Buster in action. The aircraft is launched "with basically bungee cords," but "eventually, we want to get to a submerged launch," he said. The video also showed images from the Buster cruising at 1,000 feet above test center, higher than the UAV would normally operate due to airspace restrictions, he said. "She'd actually operate a little lower and have a little more resolution on the camera," he said. The infrared camera images shows hot areas as black and cold areas as white. The images are then "beamed back to [the Montpelier] 20 miles away," Donnelly said. "That's the capability we hope to prove on her deployment, and then use that in an SSGN deployment in the future," he said. Spokesmen from Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Air Systems Command declined comment on the Buster, saying that the program is not under their charge. The Montpelier deployed Nov. 5 with the Truman battle group. [/QUOTE]
