Beyond the Horizon
A radical design for an
autonomous naval vessel with
a range of 3,500 nautical miles
has been unveiled by Rolls-
Royce during 2017.
Designed to perform a
range of single-role missions
− for example, patrol and
surveillance, mine detection or
fleet protection − the 60m long,
700-tonne displacement vessel
is intended to be capable of
operating beyond the horizon for
more than 100 days at a time.
