“We will design our future naval force to support distributed operating concepts that rely on lower signature, highly maneuverable forces. The tri-service maritime strategy, Advantage at sea, issued jointly by the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard and released in December 2020, calls for greater numbers of distributable capabilities over fewer exquisite platforms. Perhaps most of all, the Navy and Marine Corps must continue to work to build operator trust and confidence in unmanned systems in all domains. The document allowed as how there continue to be barriers, including policy, doctrine, force structure, acquisition, and technology development. UxS operating in the air, on the surface, under the sea, and on shore as a rapidly adaptable and interconnected network will provide access to areas denied to manned platforms, provide better situational awareness, increase capabilities with greater range and persistence, and enable faster decision making,” the roadmap stated. “UxS will strengthen naval power at, on, and from the sea by reducing operational risk and cost. The 2018 document states that UxS will operate in every domain always be an option and be at their best when teamed with Sailors and Marines The most recent edition of the Navy’s Unmanned Systems (UxS) Roadmap was issued in 2018, and a new version is expected in the near future. The Navy plans to evolve an unmanned systems operating concept that is platform agnostic and capable of operating in highly complex contested environments with minimal operator interaction. Navy uses unmanned and robotic underwater vehicles for a multitude of functions, including environmental sensing, mine hunting, and salvage. This vehicle is loaded with a host of new technologies and was built as a direct replacement for CURV-III but with a smaller overall system footprint.Ī surrogate Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (LDUUV) is submerged in the water in preparation for a test to demonstrate the capability of the Navy’s Common Control System (CCS) at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Keyport in Puget Sound, Wash.
