In the 1990s, the Central Intelligence Agency developed Charlie, a robotic catfish, to explore the feasibility of unmanned underwater vehicles.
The UUV fish contains a pressure hull, ballast system, and communications system in the body and a propulsion system in the tail. It is controlled by a wireless line-of-sight radio handset.
So, should you be afraid? Probably yes.
