What underwater boat is fully autonomous and made by BAE Systems?
Submarine A submarine (or simply sub) is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. It differs from a submersible, which has more limited underwater capability. The term most commonly refers to a large, crewed vessel. It is also sometimes used historically or colloquially to refer to remotely operated vehicles and robots, as well as medium-sized or smaller vessels, such as the midget submarine and the wet sub. The noun "submarine" evolved as a shortened form of "submarine boat"; by naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as "boats" rather than as "ships", regardless of their size ("boat" is usually reserved for seagoing vessels of relatively small size).
LR7 The LR7 is a manned submersible in service with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) since 2009, and is usually deployed onboard one of China's Type 926 submarine support ships. Constructed by the British firm Perry Slingsby Systems, of the Triton Group, as a development of earlier LR5, the 25 ft long LR7 is designed for retrieving sailors from stranded submarines at a depth greater than 300 meters, and is capable of rescuing 18 at a time.
