PANAGYURISHTE, ($1=1.66 Bulgarian Levas) – U.S. Navy theorists believe surface unmanned aerial vehicles are better entrusted with conducting intelligence and electronic warfare against the enemy fleet.
In April 2021, the US Navy conducted the first-ever training, during which not only “classic” surface ships were involved in combat firing, but also the unmanned surface ships Sea Hunter [SH1] and Seahawk [SH2]. The purpose of these exercises is to develop an algorithm for the use of unmanned warships in combat situations.
And something seems to have gone wrong after the US Navy decided to give surface drones a different role – conducting intelligence and electronic warfare, instead of defeating enemy ships.
The Naval News portal writes that the US Navy has held a virtual symposium on the role of unmanned systems in modern naval warfare.
