| Echo Voyager is the newest member to join Boeing’s unmanned undersea vehicle family. The 51-foot vehicle is designed to stay underwater for months at a time. Boeing has designed and operated manned and unmanned deep sea systems since the 1960s. |
Echo Voyager, Boeing's latest unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV), can
operate autonomously for months at a time thanks to a hybrid
rechargeable power system and modular payload bay. The 51-foot-long
vehicle is the latest innovation in Boeing’s UUV family, joining the
32-foot Echo Seeker and the 18-foot Echo Ranger.
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. Echo Voyager – Boeing’s unmanned, undersea vehicle (UUV) – is slated to undergo sea trials later this summer. Due to its hybrid rechargeable propulsion power system and modular payload bay, the vehicle can operate autonomously for months at a time, officials say.

“Echo Voyager can collect data
while at sea, rise to the surface, and provide information back to
users in a near real-time environment,” says Lance Towers, director, Sea
& Land, Boeing Phantom Works.
