March 28Mar 28 Marines to Get High-Speed, Radar-Evading Electric Seagliders for Rescue Ops "The advantages of seagliders are particularly noteworthy for defense operations, where speed and efficiency can determine the success of missions. The Viceroy seaglider can soar up to 180 mph over approximately 180 miles. One of the standout features of sea gliders is their ability to take off and land on water. This capability eliminates reliance on traditional runways, which can be vulnerable in conflict situations. Furthermore, these electric-powered vessels can be recharged from shore and ship resources, ensuring a dependable energy source during operations. Another significant benefit is their low radar and sonar signatures. By flying close to the water’s surface, seagliders avoid radar detection while minimizing heat and infrared visibility due to their electric propulsion systems."
