Cormorant Submarine

After the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, military strategists realized that surgical attacks were more useful than nuclear weapons.

The research division of Lockheed Martin is developing an aircraft capable of taking off from a submarine. The aircraft must be able to emerge into the sky directly from under the water and fit in the mine for a strategic rocket, folding its wings.

The preliminary name of the project is Cormorant (“Cormorant”).



When this unmanned titanium bird spits out of the mine, a floating robot will crawl out after it, which will catch it after landing and drag it back into the boat.
