The US military has been developing a robotic tuna that can infiltrate enemy territory.
The spy fish, which is made to look like a bluefin tuna, weighs a hundred pounds and is 5ft long.
Dubbed Project Silent Nemo, The United States Office of Naval Research is in the process of testing the tuna.
The robot is controlled by remote control but can also be programmed to swim a pre-determined route.
Nemo could see active service in as little as a year’s time.
According to the Virginia Pilot, Its duties will include entering enemy waters, inspecting ships and searching for underwater mines.
Jerry Lademan, the Marine in charge of the project, said: "This is an attempt to take thousands of years of evolution—what has been perfected since the dawn of time—and try to incorporate that into a mechanical device.
“I thought it was a living fish. It’s crazy,” he added.
