Maritime Drones
Home > Military > Drones > Maritime
Naval forces are now operating in a significantly changed environment on the world's oceans. Maritime drones have altered how naval forces defend themselves. In addition, the threat of maritime drone swarms can cause big problems for radars and defensive systems - the numbers of small, inexpensive drones being deployed at the same time using artificial intelligence (AI) for targeting.
These "swarms" become even more problematic when air, surface, and subsurface drone swarms are employed against naval ships. The world's naval powers will not be those with the largest ships or biggest fleet but with those that adapt most effectively to the drone revolution.
