Annual Naval Exercise Showcases Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Capabilities

摘要

NEWPORT, R.I.-Along the coast of the Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, members of industry, academia and the Navy recently experimented with unmanned underwater vehicles that officials believe could one day prove key in future naval skirmishes. The fourth iteration of the Advanced Naval Technology Exercise took place in late August at Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport. As part of the event's theme, "human-machine interaction," researchers focused on increasing trust between operators and autonomous vehicles.
