快科技10月30日消息,美国Seasats公司“光鱼”(Lightfish)无人水面艇(USV)上个月遭到一条鲨鱼的袭击,近期,相关画面曝光。据悉,当天上午9点38分,这艘在加州海岸附近作业的无人艇记录到一次突然的撞击,导致船只轻微倾斜,溅起的水花落在了甲板上。一个传感器检测到船体进水,启动了舱底水泵并触发了警报,操纵无人艇的工作人员收到警报后,远程指挥这艘无人水面艇返航。大约两小时后,该公司回收无人艇,检查发现其侧面出现了四道巨大的划痕,并导致了穿孔,而在船底则出现了一个更大的穿孔,致使海水涌入。调查人员认为,此次意外系鲨鱼袭击导致,导致船体破损的正是它们尖锐的牙齿。值得注意的是,这并非是该公司产品首次遭到鲨鱼攻击,此前该司的无人水下航行器(UUV)就清晰拍到过遭袭过程,只见鲨鱼突然张开血盆大口从下面冲出咬上来,真的有恐怖电影《大白鲨》的感觉了。
