Yes, but noise would be a problem.
- kyriakos 3y agoNoise from the drone propeller?
- hyperthesis 3y agoWouldn't a small drone make less noise than a submarine?
- jvanderbot 3y agoThat seems intuitive but one thing I've learned in my career is that obvious easy ideas that nobody does are usually missing key details.
- dragonwriter 3y agoA small drone and a submarine would make more noise than either alone.
- bheadmaster 3y agoWhat about using a pressure sensor fixed to a long pole in front of the submarine? That way, if they hit anything, the pole would hit first, and could activate the stopping mechanism.
- adastra22 3y agoThese things can't stop on a dime.
- bheadmaster 3y agoHow long would the pole have to be to stop a 40mph submarine?

- hutzlibu 3y agoImagine swimming with a long pole attached to the front of you. Even if it would be thin, it would still disturb you very much. Also the disturbances in the water created by the pole would make noise, that can be detected. Submarines are optimised in everything for absolute stealth, up to the point that the crew may not make any noise, like dropping a wrench.
