An 'Operational Advantage'

摘要

The sea services today are exploring how unmanned technologies can be used in increasingly contested and congested regions in the air, on the sea, under the sea and in cyberspace. Their use also is being experimented with in areas where it is difficult for humans to operate with any regularity. Rear Adm. Robert Girrier, director of Unmanned Warfare Systems, wrote in a Nov. 19 post on the Navy's "Navy Live" blog, "My job, drawing on fleet experience, is to see how unmanned systems and technology can help solve problems we face in contested regions around the world. How can unmanned systems help leverage the capabilities of our ships, submarines and aircraft? ... As unmanned systems continue to come online and mature, we're changing how we think and how we operate, so we're not just reacting to the challenges we face today, but focusing creativity and initiative to ensure we prevail in the future."
