The Pentagon recently unveiled its latest technological marvel that promises to redefine naval supremacy and a leap forward in anti-ship technology.

A Deadly New Anti-Ship Weapon

The US Air Force announced the successful demonstration of a new weapon system called QUICKSINK on Thursday, August 8, in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Eglin Air Force Base.

The demonstration showcased a new method for destroying enemy ships using modified, low-cost precision-guided bombs last July.

In a joint effort with the US Navy, the Air Force has proven QUICKSINK’s lethal capabilities in a live-fire test deployed from a B-2 Spirit bomber.

This groundbreaking development promises to reshape maritime dominance and alter the balance of power on the world’s oceans.

“The development of this technology helps deliver technological superiority to ensure the United States can defend our interests, maintain freedom of action, and seize the initiative over large maritime areas,” said Colonel Matthew Caspers, AFRL (Air Force Research Laboratory) Munitions Director.

The AFRL and the Navy are jointly developing advanced air-launched weapons designed to neutralize enemy ships. Their collaborative effort, based at Eglin Air Force Base, is focused on creating cutting-edge anti-ship capabilities.
