Uncrewed vessels with the ability to jam electronics, spy on faraway activities and even help coordinate the flow of fighting will play an increasingly important role in the service’s mission, according to Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday.
Work to realize such a concept, he said Feb. 16 at the West 2023 conference in San Diego, is already underway.

..."The Navy’s pursuit of uncrewed viability is highlighted by Task Force 59, led by Capt. Michael Brasseur. The group at the end of last year wrapped Digital Horizon, a three-week experiment in Bahrain that focused on artificial intelligence and related tech.
The event included 15 so-called advanced systems, 10 of which operated in the Middle East for the first time, and a handful of private industry players. Brasseur, the commodore, told Defense News “uncrewed assets” are a means “to get a bunch of eyes out on the water, collect the data” and then more precisely “deploy our manned assets.”
Earlier in the year, at the Rim of the Pacific exercise, more than two-dozen uncrewed systems were put to the test.
“We began taking unmanned and we began taking AI capabilities, and we began putting them against a real-world problem,” Gilday said. “And that real world problem was a maritime domain awareness: How do we understand what’s moving on the surface of the ocean?”
“If it’s illegal arms or people that are being trafficked from Iran to to Yemen, if it’s weapons that are going into the Red Sea,” he added, “we can’t see that unless we have some type of sensor coverage.”
