Franz-Stefan Gady, The Diplomat: Unmanned 'Killer Robots': A New Weapon in the US Navy's Future Arsenal?
The US Navy moves unmanned drones to the top of its priorities.
This week, U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announced that he will streamline the navy’s efforts to keep up with advances in unmanned technology by appointing a new Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Unmanned Systems, who will bring “together all the many stakeholders and operators who are currently working on this technology.”
“Additionally, the Navy Staff will add a new office for unmanned in the N-9, the N-Code for Warfare Systems, so that all aspects of unmanned – in all domains – over, on and under the sea and coming from the sea to operate on land – will be coordinated and championed,” the secretary noted.
WNU Editor: If trends continue the answer is yes .... robots and human operated drones are the future .... and probably sooner rather than later.
