ThayerMahan Detects, Tracks, and Classifies All UUVs at Lanternfish 26

GROTON, Conn., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ThayerMahan, Inc., a leader in unmanned maritime security and acoustic intelligence, today announced the successful deployment and operation of its distributed acoustic intelligence systems and software to provide undersea domain awareness during Exercise Lanternfish 26. ThayerMahan’s fixed and mobile sensing systems detected, classified, localized, and tracked all classes of Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) employed during the exercise, ranging from a six-inch diameter system to XLUUV-class UUVs.

ThayerMahan systems deployed rapidly, detected all UUVs, and exported detections to Navy COPs at Exercise Lanternfish 26

Exercise Lanternfish brought together operational forces, leading technologies, and international partners to evaluate advanced capabilities in a realistic maritime environment. For the event, ThayerMahan deployed fixed ShorePicket™ and mobile Outpost® sensing systems, demonstrating a layered surveillance architecture capable of persistent monitoring across complex undersea operating areas. The company’s TransparenSea® software processed and visually displayed acoustic intelligence in easy-to-analyze, operator preferred formats while exporting tracks and detections directly to Navy Common Operating Pictures (COPs) in real-time, representing a core advantage of ThayerMahan’s sensing architecture.

“The value of undersea awareness is determined by how quickly operators can identify, understand, and respond to emerging activity,” said John Russ, retired Submarine Squadron Commander and Chief Operating Officer, ThayerMahan. “Lanternfish was the latest in a long line of demonstrations which have proved that our distributed sensing networks can provide reliable detection, classification, localization, and tracking against UUVs in operationally relevant environments. That awareness delivers decision advantage and creates the time required for commanders and security operators to employ the most appropriate response.”

Both systems were deployed and operational in less than 24 hours, required no specialized installation equipment, did not disrupt normal port activity, and provided persistent awareness across the harbor and littoral exercise area. The systems demonstrated sensing performance far beyond the exercise location, and maintained performance in the presence of heavy traffic, including one vessel that idled directly over the array for an extended period.

“Lanternfish provided an opportunity to evaluate our systems under the same operational conditions our customers face every day,” said Chris Glander, President Operations at ThayerMahan. “We rapidly established acoustic sensing coverage, detected and continuously tracked every class of exercise UUV, and maintained persistent situational awareness in a complex and active harbor environment. The exercise demonstrated not only the performance and reliability of the technology, but also the operational effectiveness of a rapidly deployable system capable of simultaneously monitoring multiple UUV classes with minimal infrastructure, reduced manpower requirements and virtually no impact to harbor operations.”
Exercise Lanternfish highlighted the growing operational requirement to detect, classify, and respond to small and increasingly sophisticated UUV threats, especially in the areas near ports, critical infrastructure, and maritime chokepoints.

“For a long time, ‘drone threat’ has been synonymous with airborne drones,” said Andy Meecham, Chief Technology Officer at ThayerMahan. “Meanwhile, UUVs have become increasingly accessible and capable. Anyone with internet access, a few thousand dollars, and ill intentions can assemble a credible UUV threat; and nation’s systems continue to grow more exquisite. Lanternfish gave us the opportunity to prove how well, how far, and how reliably our systems detect and track these threats in the complex environments where they are most likely to be used. Other exercises and real-world operations continue to prove out our non-kinetic Counter-UUV defeat capability. Our combination of operationally active UUV sensing and UUV defeat systems puts ThayerMahan in a group of one.”

Systems capable of detecting UUVs are expected to play an increasingly important role in identifying emerging threats, informing operational decisions, and enabling effective responses before risks escalate. ThayerMahan’s mobile, moored, and fixed systems are designed to meet this rising threat with persistent detection, classification, and tracking across a dynamic range of missions and operating environments.

Creality Debuts mBox, A Kid-Operated AI 3D Printer, at $329

Published

32 seconds ago

November 10, 2026

HOUSTON, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality, a global leader in the 3D printing industry, today introduces mBox, an AI 3D printer designed specifically for kids. Featuring a 153 × 153 × 153 mm build volume, the kid-operated printer brings together kid-safe designs, simple printing operations, and accessible creative tools to help young makers turn their ideas into physical creations. Priced at $329, mBox is now available exclusively on TikTok Shop in the U.S. from November 9 to December 10.

Who is mBox Built for

mBox is built for families with children aged 6–16 who enjoy drawing, block building, model making, DIY projects or exploring technologies. It is particularly designed for young creators who want to go beyond just buying ready-made toys and instead turn their own imagination into tangible and personalized creations, whether through independent projects at home or hands-on activities in the company of parents. mBox is also ideal for STEAM learning spaces where educators seek to integrate safe and simple 3D printers into everyday classroom subjects, like science experiments, engineering design, and creative arts.

Designed with Child Safety in Mind

Developed specially for kids, mBox prioritizes safety in its product engineering. Its fully enclosed chamber keeps the nozzle and moving components behind an enclosure while children watch their creations take shape. During printing, the unheated build plate eliminates the need to handle a heated bed when removing finished prints, while activated carbon filtration helps filter impurities from the chamber air.

Notably, a configurable door-open alert offers three response options: no action, alert only, or alert and pause. When the alert-and-pause is set and triggered, printing stops and parents receive an app notification.

Together, these thoughtful design features help create a safe and friendly space for printing and creating, ensuring parents feel more at ease as children build 3D models on their own.

Easy to Use, Easy to Create

mBox focuses on simplified operations to make 3D printing easier for kids to get started with.

With the 3.97-inch full-color touchscreen, kids can pick a model and start printing in just a few clicks without connecting to a phone. Before printing, auto leveling simplifies print preparation and helps improve first-layer adhesion, reducing the need for parents’ manual adjustments. During printing, the CoreXY motion system with vibration compensation supports stable printing and cleaner surface details, while AI detection uses the built-in camera to identify issues like warping, foreign objects, and spaghetti failures, and then alerts are sent to parents through the app.

In addition, there is RGB status lighting to show print progress and a low-noise mode which keeps operating noise at or under 46 dB.

A Magic Box That Sparks Creativity

Beyond the printer itself, mBox bridges kids with dedicated software, Creality Park App and Creality Park Studio. The Creality Park App is a 3D playground showcasing curated models and STEAM courses in a fun way and offering pick & print experience for younger users. For those ready to take their ideas further, the Creality Park Studio, a PC-based platform, offers approachable 3D modeling tools to help design original creations.

The ecosystem also incorporates AI tools CubeMe and SnapForm, enabling kids to turn photos into personalized, printable figurines, keychains, and accessories.

From a simple idea to a piece of creation, mBox aims to spark imagination and encourage hands-on making, helping young creators turn inspiration into something they can hold in hands.

Availability & Pricing

mBox is now available exclusively on the U.S. TikTok Shop at the price of $329 from November 9 to December 10.
