Unmanned systems have become ubiquitous throughout the military, but the key to their continued success will be new and more powerful autonomy capabilities that make up the guts of the platforms, officials say.
The Navy — which is pursuing an ambitious unmanned systems plan through a mixture of air, surface and underwater platforms — is working to test and mature those autonomy systems through multiple programs.
These include efforts such as new autonomy standards as well as the standing up of its Rapid Autonomy Integration Lab, said Capt. Pete Small, program manager for unmanned maritime systems at Naval Sea Systems Command.
