The United States Navy has completed an in-water testing of an unmanned drone capable of embarking on long-distance undersea mission that will likely change the face of military underwater operations. “The combination of cross-country modular transportation, in-field assembly and subsequent deployment demonstrates a first-of-kind capability for an extra-large UUV.” According to the report, the drone was built in Maryland before being shipped in subsections to its test location in California, as it was also gathered that its ease of shipment demonstrated the possibility of rapid deployment throughout the world. “Shipping the large drone directly to its intended area of operation conserves energy that the vehicle would otherwise expend during transit,” Woerner added.
