Navy's unmanned task force to conduct testing within next five months

摘要

The Navy's Mideast-based unmanned task force will conduct testing within the next few months using command-and-control infrastructure and artificial intelligence. "We're going to a C2 infrastructure that has multiple vehicles controlled by one person, leveraging AI to do that. We're going to be testing that within the next five months," Capt. Michael Brasseur, commodore for Task Force 59, said during a virtual Fed Supernova event Wednesday. The Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain launched Task Force 59 in September to focus on integrating unmanned systems and artificial intelligence. Brasseur outlined the first steps for Task Force 59: Start small, build trust in the human-machine team, and then scale up with more assets and put unmanned surface vessels and unmanned aerial systems on real missions, he said.
