Хиймэл оюун ухаанаар удирдагддаг Saronic Corsair хөлөг онгоц нь Оманы эрэг орчимд осолдсон нисдэг тэрэгний багийнхныг амжилттай аварчээ.
2026 оны зургаадугаар сарын 8-ны өдөр Ираны нисгэгчгүй онгоц АНУ-ын Армийн Boeing AH-64 Apache нисдэг тэргийг сөнөөсний улмаас тус хөлөг Ормузын хоолой орчимд осолдсон байна. АНУ-ын Төв командлалын мэдээлснээр, Тэнгисийн цэргийн хүчин хиймэл оюун ухаанаар ажилладаг Saronic Corsair загварын бие даасан усан онгоцыг (ASV) илгээж, ослоос хойш хоёр цагийн дотор хоёр цэргийг эсэн мэнд олж авчээ. Энэ нь бие даасан систем ашиглан хийсэн анхны аврах ажиллагаа болсон бөгөөд далайн аврах ажиллагааны чадавхыг шинэ түвшинд гаргасан үйл явдал гэж үзэж байна.
Бахрейнд байрладаг 5-р флотын 59-р ажлын хэсэг нь 2026 оны гуравдугаар сараас хойш уг хөлгийг ашиглаж эхэлсэн юм. АНУ-ын Техас мужид үйлдвэрлэсэн 24 фут урттай Saronic Corsair хөлөг нь 1000 гаруй фунт ачаа тээвэрлэх хүчин чадалтай бөгөөд 1000 гаруй далайн миль замыг туулах чадвартай. Мөн 35 зангилаа хүртэлх хурдтай уг хөлөг нь “Echelon” нэртэй хиймэл оюун ухааны системээр тоноглогдсон байна.
Хэдийгээр хөлөг нь бие даан удирдах чадвартай боловч аврах ажиллагааны үеэр хүний оролцоотойгоор чиглүүлэгдсэн байна. Saronic Technologies компани 2027 он гэхэд ийм төрлийн 20 гаруй хөлгийг нийлүүлэхээр ажиллаж байгаа бөгөөд сүүлийн үеийн амжилттай ажиллагааны дараа АНУ-ын Тэнгисийн цэргийн хүчин уг системийг илүү өргөн хүрээнд нэвтрүүлэх төлөвтэй байна.

One of the most important things that every sailor knows and has had drilled into their heads from the start is what to do when someone falls overboard. Man overboard drills are commonplace on all types of ships, and the training everyone receives helps save lives when and if such an event actually occurs. As time passed, new methods for personnel retrieval included the use of helicopters and drones. Now, a new type of U.S. Navy autonomous surface vessel (ASV) is being used to find and save personnel in the water.
On June 8, 2026, an Iranian drone downed a patrolling United States Army Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopter, which splashed down near the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman. In response, the Navy dispatched a Saronic Corsair powered by artificial intelligence to find and rescue the crew. The mission was a success, marking the first time an ASV carried out such a rescue. According to a press releasefromU.S.Central Command, both soldiers were found and rescued within two hours.
The ability to dispatch an uncrewed boat that can find and rescue personnel is an absolute game-changer in terms of maritime safety and rescue operations. As the U.S. military continues to bulk up its wide-ranging fleet of drones, it’s likely that more rescues will be carried out similarly in the future. For now, the rescue marks an important milestone in demonstrating the efficacy of ASVs, which are being developed all over the world for a variety of mission types and operations.
The Saronic Corsair ASV
The Saronic Corsair used in the rescue is operated by U.S. 5th Fleet’s Task Force 59, which began using them in March 2026. The unit is based out of Bahrain and works to integrate artificial intelligence with uncrewed maritime systems in the 5th Fleet’s area of operations, so it was ready to go on a moment’s notice. The Corsair is one of several ASVs produced by Saronic Technologies, which is based in Texas. The Corsair can carry over 1,000 pounds and has a range of more than 1,000nautical miles (about 1,150 miles).
The vessel has a top speed of35+ knots(about 40+ mph) and is capable of more than rescue missions, as it can be outfitted with all manner of sensors and equipment. The boat measures 24 feet in length and is powered by artificial intelligence that provides smart navigation through adaptive path planning. While the Corsair incorporates AI, it must still be guided by human operators who dispatched the vessel to the downed helicopter’s location to find and provide a rescue platform for the two soldiers.
For its AI, Saronic developed Echelon, which integrates software and hardware to provide faster decision-making and smarter autonomous behaviors. This allows sailors to set mission objectives along a preferred route, which is all managed via a simple click-to-plan interface that anyone familiar with modern computer systems can operate. The company is working to provide over 20 additional Corsair vessels by 2027, and given the success of its latest rescue operation, the Navy is likely eager to acquire them alongside other long-range drone ships.
