Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles also called underwater drones are mini submarines. they are unmanned, can be operated remotely or like a robot. Talisman and Seafox are some of the prominent names. They are very useful in counter mine warfare and about 20 of them are going to participate in the naval exercise starting next week in Gulf. 40 countries are expected to participate.

Tension over Iran's nuclear programme may have prompted this exercise in the gulf . Sealines in gulf can be mined in case of conflict situation, which will severely affect oil supplies to many developed and developing countries.
