The Navy is preparing to create a new unit focused on small unmanned surface vessels amid a push by the chief of naval operations to bring more robotic and autonomous systems into the fleet.

Unmanned Surface Vessel Squadron 7 is slated to be established in May in San Diego, California, according to service officials.

The organization will be “primarily tasked with operating and maintaining” a variety of small USVs, a Navy official told DefenseScoop.

That includes Global Autonomous Reconnaissance Craft and “future RAS systems,” the official said.
