00:00Seagliders are a perfect fit for the high-speed logistics mission in the Indo-Pacific,
00:05where island hopping and contested environments are driving a reversion
00:08to World War II-style expeditionary tactics.
00:12Seagliders can be deployed, folded in a large cargo aircraft or in the well deck of a ship.
00:17Once in theater, seagliders will use battery packs similar to today's fuel packs for fast charging.
00:23The battery packs themselves enable energy resiliency,
00:25charged by trucks, generators, wind, or solar.
00:28With runway independence, seagliders leave ports and navigate littorals on their wave-tolerant hydrofoils,
00:35then flying ground effect, below radar, and above sonar for low-signature operations.
00:40With current battery technology, defense-optimized seagliders have a 200-mile range,
00:46perfect for our existing logistics networks.
00:48Seagliders can carry 12 passengers, with two mariners, not pilots, at the helm,
00:53or, in the cargo configuration, carry 3,500 pounds of payload.
00:57With a full digital flight control system, seagliders are autonomy-ready.
