The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has raised eyebrows in the last several years for projects such as its Advanced Plant Technologies (plants that spy) and ReSource Program (which aims to turn trash into food).
If you have never heard of DARPA, it’s a research agency of the United States Department of Defense that creates innovative and cutting-edge technology for the U.S. military.
One of DARPA’s latest projects is the Manta Ray Project.

According to DARPA’s website, the Manta Ray Project seeks “to demonstrate innovative technologies allowing payload-capable autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) to operate on long-duration, long-range missions in ocean environments without the need for on-site human logistics.”
DARPA tapped defense contractor Northrop Grumman to create a prototype of the Manta Ray.
LOOK:
Together with @DARPA & our industry partners, we have built Manta Ray – a new type of uncrewed underwater vehicle. 👀 Manta Ray will operate long-duration, long-range missions in ocean environments, going where humans can’t. https://t.co/VbpZrx26Uh #DefiningPossible #SAS2024 pic.twitter.com/2vgJcKWu5W

A fish-like robot that #autonomously roams the #oceans on long-duration missions, harvesting #energy to power its trek: That’s the goal the Manta Ray project. Learn more from @DARPA and @SandiaLabs in this Voices from DARPA podcast. https://t.co/oKtboC7YpN pic.twitter.com/DYj7Y7lWQg

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), also known as drones of the sea, are not new innovations.
What is unique about the Manta Ray drone is that it can go on “long-duration missions, harvesting energy to power its trek.”
