Navies are facing a growing challenge offshore: how to maintain persistent awareness and protection across vast maritime areas without tying up crewed vessels for...

Modern navies face a growing mismatch between aging capital ships and the demands of future air warfare. Aircraft carriers must now support heavier aircraft,...

Naval forces are under increasing pressure to monitor vast maritime areas, protect critical sea lanes, and respond quickly to emerging threats—often with limited numbers...

Autonomous maritime systems are advancing faster than the frameworks designed to prove they are safe. Unmanned surface vessels increasingly rely on AI-based perception to...

Modern navies are being pushed toward capabilities their current ships were never designed to support. Sensors are becoming more power-intensive, hypersonic weapons demand new...

Moving equipment, sensors, and unmanned systems across land–sea boundaries has long been a logistical bottleneck. Most platforms are built for either terrain or water,...

Naval forces face a growing need to monitor and operate across vast stretches of ocean without relying solely on crewed ships. Long-range patrols, intelligence...

Marine collisions with fixed offshore structures—such as oil platforms, abandoned wellheads, and navigational hazards—remain a persistent problem for commercial operators and coastal authorities. These...

Robots intended for complex natural environments face a familiar problem: rigid bodies and fixed-color surfaces make them easy to detect and limit their ability...

Modern amphibious forces increasingly rely on unmanned systems for reconnaissance, strike missions, and real-time situational awareness. Traditional helicopter assault ships are limited in the...

Modern naval forces face a persistent challenge: how to monitor vast stretches of ocean without relying on crewed submarines or costly patrol cycles. Underwater...

Critical undersea cables and energy pipelines have become increasingly attractive targets for adversaries, particularly as naval competition intensifies in the North Atlantic. Recent Russian...

Modern submarines rely on increasingly complex control systems to maneuver safely in three dimensions, manage propulsion, and coordinate onboard sensors. As underwater missions expand...

Locating submarines has always been one of the hardest challenges in maritime security. These vessels rely on stealth, operate across vast ocean areas, and...

India’s Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has unveiled a new class of man-portable autonomous underwater vehicles (MP-AUVs), designed to make mine detection faster,...

A new 3,000-ton littoral combat ship (LCS) capable of advanced anti-submarine and surface warfare operations has officially entered service with the U.S. Navy. Named...

A new generation of submarine warfare has emerged with the debut of the A26, which is described as the world’s first fifth-generation submarine. Developed...

Indonesia has demonstrated a step forward in its naval capabilities with a successful torpedo firing from an autonomous submarine. The vessel, known as KSOT...

Researchers at the University of Maryland are developing a new unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) that mimics the movement of fish. Led by assistant professor...

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) has recently unveiled a highly secure underground base that stores a fleet of missile-equipped assault boats. The revelation,...

At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, South Korean company K Watercraft introduced a revolutionary unmanned boat that utilizes water as its primary fuel source,...
