Another question how long would it take to recharge its battery at Naval base? 20 hours?

And another question: could it be launched from a simple launchpad at any random location (geography permitting) after being transported on a truck?
The advantage of such a mobility gain would be amazing

Not sure of the exact battery configuration but shouldn't exceed 3 hours.

This is the entire point of making it transportable.

So, a mobile launchpad will also be transported to to the designated launch point. Cool.

EDIT: Or better yet, the mini sub could be transported secured on the launchpad as a single unit and entire unit could be unloaded, set up and ready the the sub to be slipped away at any shore line.

The carrier will be the launch pad i believe.

This is a TKY (Technological gain liability) project, likely a percentage of DIMDEG project is used for here. Shouldn't be more than few million dollars including the R&D.

I like this so much. Kudos to the company, navy and SSB people that made this possible.

Why is Datum and its projects are almost impossible to find on the Internet? Other than 1 article from 2020, there is no information anywhere, and their website is nothing but 1 paragraph put in front of a nice background and a contact page that is nothing but 2 Lorem Ipsum's and a stock photo. I can find more about their CEO than the company itself, which doesn't even have a Linkedin page.

Our Navy knows its shit! We are competing with Americans.

That's a completely different class though, not just in its displacement, endurance and depth but also it has made multiple tests and a contract was already awarded for the actual unmanned submarine to be built based on this design. We are just taking first steps now.

Datum mainly has one single project and it is to make a multi-purpose manned mini submarine (And i find their goals highly suitable, realizable and achievable by a start-up of given size). However, they were not able to acquire a fund to accomplish this earlier, the CEO has had the dream for a decade and worked on conceptual design(s), maturing over the time with his colleagues and on his own nearly by self-funding. The company is more or less about the founder - CEO and few colleagues of him. He preferred to keep a low profile since he has got the project and funds, as you might know why, If you are living in TR and got such a fund, there would be a herd of vultures trying to rip off the budget (for no reason they would place obstacles and then ask for some -help- to ease the burden of passing through). I believe, after accomplish certain goals and assuring his position in 'capability' to the higher ups, the company will have more information in the website and continue to work on other designs.

Semi-autonomous mini submarine seems to me more effective rather than fully autonomous one .
İt doesn't require inefficient navigation system which limits missions while reducing crew saves more space, oxygen resources.

I wish modern MBTs to be one manned.

Two manned mini-sub like modern fighter aircraft.


Look at Boeing's Navigation system:
"The XLUUV’s navigation system features a proven Kalman filtered Inertial Navigation Unit supported by Doppler Velocity Logs and depth sensors offering superior directional accuracy"

That makes sense, and yes I unfortunately know those kinds of vultures through some friends that worked in defence industry. I also like their singular focus, rather than a scatter gun approach to try to get funding, and hopefully they'll be successful. A mini submarine that could be launched from a single truck is a very interesting concept. It was just weird being able to find CEO's deviantart page easier than information about his projects

I am pretty sure they will have a decent reception in person, to disclose the project with details and update the website soon after that. . Unlike many other start-ups in the field, they seem to be focusing on their first product before going too far with the concepts and promises. That is another reason why i find their model useful and appreciating the approach.

Just to keep the thread neat, i shall remind these threads to not clutter;

Naval programs related news goes in current thread.

Images regarding to the platforms (unless containing a new information wrt. the program) go here;
Navy thread

Unmanned programs go here;
Unmanned surface / underwater vessels

Torpedoes et al. go here (unless otherwise related to a naval program);
Torpedoes thread

Missiles may go here in the current thread, or in the missiles thread. However, if it is not a platform related missile system that will be inducted by Navy, then it better suits in;
Missiles and munitions

Conceptual works created by individuals are suiting here, eventhough it is referencing an on-going program, it will be in conceptual works thread;
Concepts-renders-photo edits and any related discussion

Finally, conceptual works created by companies for exports or the "ideas", unless related to an actual program / tender go here;
Concepts and technology demonstrators

Lastly, you may feel to create a thread under Turkish Navy section if the content is fitting to neither, or wanting to discuss particularly on a certain design, MLU etc. kind of processes. Like i did when i noticed FAC-FIC designs are available enmasse and suiting better to be separated, eventhough fitting in "Concepts and technology demonstrators" thread.
Example thread, FAC-FIC

These are not tight rules, as the diffusion between threads is expected. But we better keep it in mind if it is to escalate and occupy pages of discussion that actually is related to another thread.

 

[boredaf]

Torpedoes thread

God I wish we had some news, any news about torpedoes so that we could post in there.

Within the scope of the Multi-Purpose Mini Submarine Development Project carried out by DATUM; In order to gain experience before producing the 12-meter submarine, a resistant boat test piece with a length of 2 meters and a diameter of 1.5 meters, in which the production methods on ÇAMD were tested,

A test dive was made off the coast of İğneada on July 11, 2023. The system, which was tested for 45 minutes at 400 meters, successfully completed the test. After the successful test, the production of the 12-meter boat started.
