The Navy’s two top leaders today announced the service is ready to expand the use of unmanned systems to the broader fleet, and will start with US 4th Fleet later this summer.
The Navy is “ready to scale these operations at the fleet level,” Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday told an audience here at the Sea Air Space exposition.
“The 4th Fleet area of operations will provide us with an environment best suited to operationalize the concepts of Task Force 59 that’s worked tirelessly to develop to increase our maritime domain awareness,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said during joint remarks with the CNO.

..."The Navy leaders declined to characterize the number of unmanned systems that would ultimately be sent to US 4th Fleet, stressing that much of the planning work is still being done and more details would follow in July during UNITAS 2023.
Of course, the Navy’s unmanned efforts are spread through the service. Around the same time as Task Force 59 was set up, Gilday established a service-wide “Unmanned Task Force,” which has received much less in the way of public attention. Asked today about what that panel has been doing to ultimately contribute to the Navy’s expansion of unmanned systems, the CNO said the unmanned task force is largely focused on classified payload development."
