1 source · first reported 1h ago
The US Navy has demonstrated a robotic system that can capture, refuel, and release an unmanned vessel at sea. The system transferred 400 gallons of fuel to the vessel. This technology has the potential to enhance the Navy's unmanned operations.
Why it matters
This robotic refueling system is significant because it could extend the range and endurance of unmanned naval vessels, allowing them to stay at sea for longer periods. This has implications for maritime surveillance, reconnaissance, and other naval operations.
