Phase-Structured Marine Propulsion
Linear-Stroke Electromagnetic Drive with Anisotropic Fluid Interaction for High-Efficiency UUV Systems
From the essay
Modern warfare operates across four physical domains—land, air, outer space, and ocean—with increasing emphasis on autonomous systems. Undersea warfare, in particular, is undergoing rapid transformation as surface vessels become more vulnerable to aerial and underwater threats. This shift necessitates the development of highly maneuverable, energy-efficient, and stealth-capable Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs). This proposal introduces N5Prop, a propulsion system based on a linear-stroke electromagnetic engine coupled with an anisotropic propeller, designed specifically to meet the operational requirements outlined by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
