Very interesting new capabilities for naval warfare that needs attention. Just imagine operating with a sub in an area where these things are patrolling and the effect it will have on sea control ops. https://lnkd.in/dw8N5rH6

The Future of Naval Warfare is Unmanned As technology advances, so too must our approach to naval defense. Unmanned, non-crew vessels (USVs) are rapidly emerging as the future of naval operations, offering a smarter, safer, and more efficient alternative to traditional manned warships. By removing human crews from dangerous environments, we not only eliminate the risk of casualties but also unlock new possibilities for high-endurance, high-risk missions that would be too perilous for manned ships. These vessels can operate in the most hostile conditions without compromising human life, offering unparalleled flexibility and resilience. We believe the future of naval warfare is here—unmanned, agile, and unstoppable. If you're interested in exploring the potential of commissioning the next generation of warships, now is the time to engage. Let's discuss how we can design, develop, and deploy cutting-edge unmanned vessels that will redefine maritime strategy.

How We Think

“"The US Marine Corps has embraced this guidance and is moving to increase the number of battalions and squadrons that field unmanned systems and acquire the SHIELD AI V-Bat to enable further operating concepts. The V-Bat takes off and lands vertically, eliminating the need for catapults or skyhooks. Consequently, it has a much smaller operational footprint than the ScanEagle or RQ-21 and even could operate from small naval vessels that lack flight decks, such as patrol craft and optionally manned or unmanned surface vehicles.” https://lnkd.in/gVDeEQJy

If thinking of leaving the military, Qinetiq are very varied and good 👍

Great to see V-BAT as the catalyst for US Marine Corps expansion of Group 3 UAS maritime operating concepts. Imagine the more sensitive CONOP development underway now that V-BAT Teaming and precision kinetic effects are both proven capabilities. V-BAT is uniquely able to operate seamlessly ship-to-shore and between operating nodes, across the full spectrum from small landing craft and patrol boats to larger ships and merchant vessels, and from both crewed and optionally crewed vessels. With Australia’s surface fleet review forecasting more and generally smaller vessels for the RAN (and ABF), and Army tracking toward advanced (V-BAT compatible!) littoral landing craft through Land 8710, V-BAT is destined to become ubiquitous down under! Using class-leading sovereign payloads, whilst remaining fully interoperable with our allies.

Japan continues to strengthen its deterrence capabilities with vertical launch missile systems being built in Japan under license from Lockheed Martin and installed from the fiscal year starting April 1 on Japan-designed and built Mogami frigates. All future frigates will include VLS. Japan will also significantly upgrade its Mogami class frigates for new ones ordered from 2024 onward. "The Japanese Defense Ministry said the new-class FFM will be fitted with longer-range missiles, enhanced anti-submarine capabilities, and improved capabilities for various maritime operations. With better anti-aircraft and search capabilities, the new FFM may become closer to an FFG (missile frigate)."
