Overview of the Use of Unmanned Marine Vehicles by the US NAVY

Summary/Abstract: The navies of the USA and the world’s leading countries are increasingly paying attention to the robotics of equipment. Until recently automation was used to improve conventional ships, nowadays it is directed towards making independent unmanned combat units for operations at sea. In the US Navy, unmanned ships already perform several tasks: reconnaissance, submarine search, and disposal of sea mines. Soon, unmanned ships will begin to solve much more complex tasks: from protecting naval bases to conducting sea battles and destroying objects along the enemy’s coast. Today, technologically leading countries are developing various types of models of surface and underwater unmanned aerial vehicles for the needs of their navies. Accordingly, it is useful to review the industry’s current state in this sector in the USA to get an idea of its current state at the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century.
