Re-working Weapon Systems at Sea: The Devil Ray at Work

ARABIAN GULF (Nov. 27, 2023)

U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) is advancing lethality and the combat capabilities of unmanned surface vehicles during Exercise Digital Talon version 2 in the international waters surrounding the Arabian Peninsula, Nov. 27.

During the exercise, NAVCENT’s Task Force 59, the Navy’s first Unmanned and Artificial Intelligence Task Force, demonstrated the ability of unmanned platforms to pair with traditionally crewed ships in “manned-unmanned teaming” to identify and target simulated hostile forces at sea.
