Admiral Gilday sees uncrewed vessels as critical to US Navy’s future

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.
